Dossier 2: Damage Control is a single Section 31 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 40. Lithia, the Independent who betrayed Section 31, turns out to be alive and bragging about it, so Sloan comes along in person to finish her off. It starts at warp 1, needs warp 24 to complete, and pays 6,000 Latinum, 180,000 Officer XP and 10.8 million Tritanium. Expect a fight with Lithia and a round of Section 31: Wave Defense near the end.
Dossier 2: Damage Control objectives
There are seven objectives and no choice split:
- Meet with Sloan. Location: Laramie.
- Proceed to Holden. Location: Laramie.
- Confront Lithia. Location: Laramie.
- Defeat Lithia. Location: Laramie.
- Set a course for the Bravo system. Location: Bravo.
- Survive a round of Section 31: Wave Defense near the Bravo system.
- Report back to Bristow.
Bristow tells you the boss wants to see you about loose threads from an earlier job. Sloan says you told him Lithia’s ship was destroyed, yet she is now boasting on Holden that she escaped Section 31. At Holden, Lithia threatens to broadcast the coordinates of a covert Section 31 base in Bravo unless Sloan walks away. Sloan orders you to destroy her ship before she can send it. Her ship goes down, but a shuttle escapes and the broadcast goes out. You race to Bravo, where hostile ships are already converging, and hold them off while the base is evacuated.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed and the mission starts at warp 1. You need warp 24 to complete it. Most of the mission is in Laramie; the defence happens near Bravo, and the last step is a report to Bristow. The recommended level is 40.
The Lithia fight has no listed enemy strength. The Wave Defense round is the other combat step, and the mission’s own prompt explains how to start it: choose a Wave Defense system and press Defend, with a docked ship.

Tips
Dock before the Wave Defense round. Only docked ships can start one, so fly home after the Lithia fight and launch the round from your station.
Bring a combat ship to Laramie. Lithia’s ship is a straight fight right after the confrontation, and it comes before the Wave Defense, so there are two combat steps in a row.
At warp 24 this is a short trip, and at level 40 the 180,000 Officer XP is the reward that goes furthest. Section 31 research is covered in the Section 31 research guide, and every mission by level is on the mission guide.
