Eternus is a level 64 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you and the Enterprise-E follow reports of another set of ritual killings into Klingon space. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 1,100 to complete, with everything happening in Pearl. You use 2,500 6★ Raw Gas to reveal hidden clues and finish with a fight against an assailant of about 4.68 billion strength. The reward is 80 15 Minute Σ-Repair Speed Ups and 530,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium, and finishing it unlocks Eyes of Destiny.
Eternus objectives
There are four objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Investigate the most recent killings. Location: Pearl.
- Use 2500 6* Raw Gas to uncover the hidden clues.
- Follow the trail. Location: Pearl.
- Defeat the assailant. Location: Pearl. Enemy strength about 4,680,807,488.
Riker intercepts the report and Picard wants to follow it up before the lead goes cold. At the scene there is carnage but no sign of the killer. Data, drawing on his study of human crime, suggests that serial killers often leave clues behind and spots a slight variation in the system’s cosmic background radiation. Picard proposes releasing an ionized gas cloud to reveal whatever is hidden, and Data needs 2,500 Raw 6★ Gas to do it.
The gas exposes an ion trail. At its end, quantum interference scrambles the sensors, the system is full of debris, and the Enterprise takes a hit. A figure called the Keeper promises eternal darkness for anyone who stands against the Great Eyes as hostile ships close in. After the fight, the Enterprise has lost its shields and a nacelle has taken a direct hit, and then comms go dead. Maia cannot tell whether Picard’s crew survived, and says you cannot wait to find out.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. Every located objective is in Pearl, and the mission needs warp 1,100 to complete. The recommended level is 64.

Tips
Stock 2,500 6★ Raw Gas before you set out. It is consumed in the second step, and the story cannot move on to the trail and the fight until it is spent.
The assailant, at about 4.68 billion strength, is a step up from the roughly 4.19 billion USS Hudson in Siblings in Arms, so bring your strongest combat ship with full health. The repair speed ups from this mission help you recover for Eyes of Destiny. The Σ resources guide covers Raw Σ-Tritanium, and more missions are on the mission guide.
