Engine Technology Lab 77 is a level 77 station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: upgrade the Engine Technology Lab to level 77. It needs warp 1 to start and finish, so it happens entirely at your station. The reward is 1,063,000 Σ-Parsteel, 2,750,000 7★ Raw Gas and 120 15 Minute Σ-Repair Speed Ups, and completing it opens Science Lab 78. The upgrade is Σ-Dilithium heavy, so the reward matters less than getting the build started.
Engine Technology Lab 77 objectives
There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Engine Technology Lab to level 77.
No system, hostile or donation is attached. The mission completes when the Engine Technology Lab reaches level 77.
Where and what warp
Warp to start and warp to complete are both 1, and there is no pickup system. The recommended level is 77.
Engine Technology Lab 77 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Σ-Parsteel | 1,063,000 |
| 7★ Raw Gas | 2,750,000 |
| 15 Minute Σ-Repair Speed Up | 120 |
Completing the mission unlocks Science Lab 78.
What Engine Technology Lab level 77 costs
The listed cost and requirements, rounded:
| Engine Technology Lab level 77 | Listed value |
|---|---|
| Σ-Parsteel | about 4.32 billion |
| Σ-Dilithium | about 17.6 million |
| 7★ Common Refined Ore | about 5.6 million |
| 7★ Uncommon Refined Gas | about 922,000 |
| Requirements | Operations 77, R&D Department 77 |
| Listed build time | 2,413 days 9 hours |
At 17.6 million, the Σ-Dilithium cost is the thing to plan for. It matches what Operations 77 asks for, so building both at the same level means finding over 35 million Σ-Dilithium.

Tips
Line up Operations 77 and R&D Department 77 first, since both are listed requirements. Midnight Oil, the Gravimetric Data mission at level 76, also asks for Operations 77, so the two goals overlap.
Keep going to level 78 when you can. Science Lab 78, the next mission, lists Engine Technology Lab 78 as a requirement.
The 120 Σ-Repair Speed Ups add up to 30 hours of repairs. See the Σ resources page for Σ-Dilithium and Σ-Parsteel, and the mission guide for other level 77 missions.
