Enemy of the Nomads is a Romulan-space mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about finding the Cabalist behind the assassination of the Nomad leadership. It is picked up in Vendor and needs warp 32 both to start and to finish. After you confront Sovren the mission splits in two, and each path ends with a fight against a traitorous Cabalist at roughly 431,670 strength. One path pays 8.4 million Parsteel, the other 1.2 million Tritanium. Both give 350 Romulan Credits and 42,000 Romulan Points.
Enemy of the Nomads objectives
The first three objectives are the same for everyone:
- Find Kelia in the safe zone on Lameo. Location: Unroth.
- Confront Sovren on Sutidey. Location: Vendor.
- Address Sovren.
At the third step the game asks how you will address Sovren, and the mission branches. The two paths send you to different systems and pay different rewards.
Path 1
In the dialogue this path follows threatening Sovren for the attacker’s warp trail.
- Execute the traitorous Cabalist. Location: Calder. Enemy strength is roughly 431,670.
- Take the traitor’s weapon to Kelia. Location: Galorndon Core.
Path 2
In the dialogue this path follows warning that civil war will return to the Suliban.
- Execute the traitorous Cabalist. Location: Oppidum Frumenti. Enemy strength is roughly 431,670.
- Reveal that Sovren has captured the assassin to Kelia. Location: Galorndon Core.
The fight is the same strength on both paths. What changes is where it happens and what you tell Kelia at the end.
Where and what warp
The mission is picked up in Vendor, and the game lists warp 32 to start and warp 32 to complete. The recommended level is listed as 1, but a Cabalist at about 431,670 is the real test, so the fight sets the bar rather than the level number.
Both paths start in Unroth and Vendor and finish in Galorndon Core. The fight moves to Calder on Path 1 and Oppidum Frumenti on Path 2.
Enemy of the Nomads rewards
| Reward | Path 1 | Path 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Parsteel | 8,414,000 | None |
| Tritanium | None | 1,238,000 |
| 3 Hour Speed Up | 16 | None |
| 15 Minute Repair Speed Up | None | 35 |
| Romulan Credits | 350 | 350 |
| Romulan Points | 42,000 | 42,000 |
| Federation Points | -34,272 | -34,272 |
Completing either path unlocks the next part of the chain.
Tips
Pick your path by what you are short of. Path 1 is the build path, with 8.4 million Parsteel and sixteen 3 Hour Speed Ups. Path 2 gives 1.2 million Tritanium and thirty-five 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups, which is the better pick if Tritanium is holding up your upgrades.
The faction side is fixed. Both paths add 42,000 Romulan Points and take 34,272 Federation Points, so your choice does not change your standing.
Bring a combat ship that can handle roughly 431,670. The Cabalist fight is the one place in the mission where things can go wrong.
Previous mission: Ashen Skies. Next mission: Vocal Minority. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
