Broken Chains is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission where you track down and destroy a group of Orion slavers. It starts at warp 1, needs warp 12 to complete, and moves from Vindemiatrix zu Lykien and on to Cita Laga. You clear 10 hostiles, beat an Orion Slaver of roughly 18,405 strength, then choose how to deal with it. Both paths pay 6 Klingonisch Recruit Tokens; the rest differs. The same mission also runs as Augments Part 7, where the token reward doubles.
Broken Chains objectives
The first four objectives are the same for everyone:
- Go to the slavers’ last known location in Vindemiatrix. Location: Vindemiatrix.
- Track the slavers to Lycia. Location: Lycia.
- Defeat 10 hostiles of level 15 or higher.
- Defeat the Orion Slaver. Location: Cita Laga. Enemy strength is roughly 18,405.
The fifth objective asks you to deal with the slaver, and it is a choice split. Both paths lead to the same task, and only the rewards change.
Path 1
- Destroy the slaver base of Operations on Elmirana. Location: Cita Laga.
Path 2
- Destroy the slaver base of operations on Elmirana. Location: Cita Laga.
Since the task is identical, the choice is really a reward pick. Look at the reward table below and decide which bundle helps you more before you commit.
Wo und welcher Warp
The mission can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 12 to complete. It runs through three systems: Vindemiatrix, Lycia and Cita Laga. The Orion Slaver and the slaver base are both in Cita Laga, so the back half of the mission stays in one place.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. The hostile objective asks for level 15 or higher targets, and the Orion Slaver sits at about 18,405 strength, so those two numbers are the better guide to whether your ship is ready.
Broken Chains rewards
| Path | Belohnungen |
|---|---|
| Path 1 | 6 Klingon Recruit Token, 48,000 Parsteel, 9 1 Hour Speed Up |
| Path 2 | 6 Klingon Recruit Token, 7,000 Tritanium, 23 5 Minute Repair Speed Up |
Which reward to pick
The Klingon Recruit Tokens are yours either way, so the choice comes down to the other two lines.
Path 1 is the build-and-grow option. The 48,000 Parsteel and 9 1 Hour Speed Ups, nine hours of speed ups in total, suit a player pushing Gebäude or research.
Path 2 is the combat-support option. The 23 5 Minute Repair Speed Ups add up to 115 minutes of repair time, and 7,000 Tritanium comes with them. If you spend a lot of time fighting hostiles and waiting on repairs, this is the more useful bundle.
Broken Chains in the Augments chain
Broken Chains is also Augments Part 7: Broken Chains in the Augment storyline. It comes after Die Reue des Käufers (Part 6), and completing it unlocks Gleicher Anteil as Part 8.
The Augments version keeps the same objectives, the same Orion Slaver at about 18,405 and the same warp 12 finish across Vindemiatrix, Lycia and Cita Laga. Its choice split is still a reward pick with an identical task on both sides. What changes is the token count: each path pays 12 Klingon Recruit Tokens instead of 6.
| Version | Path 1 rewards | Path 2 rewards | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gebrochene Ketten | 6 Klingon Recruit Token, 48,000 Parsteel, 9 1 Hour Speed Up | 6 Klingon Recruit Token, 7,000 Tritanium, 23 5 Minute Repair Speed Up | Nothing |
| Augments Part 7: Broken Chains | 12 Klingon Recruit Token, 48,000 Parsteel, 9 1 Hour Speed Up | 12 Klingon Recruit Token, 7,000 Tritanium, 23 5 Minute Repair Speed Up | Augments Part 8: Equal Share |
Tips
Check hostile levels before you fight. The objective asks for 10 kills at level 15 or higher and names no system, so the level threshold is the one rule to watch.
Bring a combat ship for Cita Laga. The Orion Slaver at around 18,405 strength is the only named fight, and it comes right after the hostile grind, so repair before you engage if your ship took damage clearing the 10 kills.
The base on Elmirana is the last step on both paths, so there is no return trip to your station to finish. Every other mission, sorted by level, is on the Missionsleitfaden.
