Destination is Origin is a main storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you move closer to a barrier of energy in unknown space. You travel to the Nikola system, contact an Orion Hauler, defeat an Orion vessel, approach the edge of the system and take your readings back to your station. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 56 to complete. The reward is 26,220,000 Parsteel and 500 4★ Gemeinsame Survey Parts, and finishing it unlocks Learn From Past Mistakes.
Destination is Origin objectives
There are five objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Travel to the Nikola system. Location: Nikola.
- Contact the Orion Hauler. Location: Nikola.
- Defeat the Orion vessel. Location: Nikola. Enemy strength is roughly 1,969,977.
- Approach the perimeter of the Nikola system. Location: Nikola.
- Take your readings to the Station.
Everything except the trip home happens in Nikola. The Orion vessel is the only fight, and it sits between contacting the Hauler and scanning the system’s perimeter.
Wo und welcher Warp
You can accept Destination is Origin at warp 1, and warp 56 is enough to reach Nikola. The game lists a recommended level of 1. The real bar is the warp 56 range and an Orion vessel at nearly 2 million strength.
The game lists Reckless Bandits and Independent Traders in Nikola at level 38 to 44. They are not mission targets.

Destination is Origin and its neighbours
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | Story | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Cycle | 61 | Attempt a purge of tachyon emissions in the Tovla system | 150 4★ Uncommon Refined Gas |
| Ziel ist Ursprung | 56 | Get closer to the barrier of energy in unknown space | 26,220,000 Parsteel, 500 4★ Common Survey Parts |
| Aus Fehlern der Vergangenheit lernen | 56 | Show Doctor Thielen the time loop first-hand | 3,150,000 Tritanium, 370 4★ Common Battleship Parts |
Destination is Origin needs less warp than The Cycle before it, so if you finished that mission you already have the range. It is also the only one of the three that pays Parsteel.
Tips
The mission ends with a scan of the Nikola system’s perimeter and a trip home with the readings, so it is worth keeping enough health after the fight to fly back without stopping.
Bring a combat ship for the Orion vessel, and keep it healthy on the way in. The Hauler contact is not a fight, but the Orion vessel follows straight after.
Put the 500 4★ Common Survey Parts toward a survey ship upgrade, and the 26 million Parsteel toward whichever building is next in your queue.
