Extraction is a level 10 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you rescue Ambassador Rendet from the Nausicaan colony and bring him back to Rigel VII. You find the ambassador on Azaxa in the Nausicaa system, disable a Nausicaan Patrol ship, and return him to Rigel. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 10 to complete. The reward is 25 1★ Survey Parts, which makes it a useful early mission if you are tiering up a survey ship.
Extraction objectives
There are three objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Find Ambassador Rendet on Azaxa. Location: Nausicaa.
- Disable the Nausicaan Patrol ship. Location: Nausicaa. Enemy strength is roughly 2,393.
- Return the Rigellian operative to Rigel VII. Location: Rigel.
The Nausicaan Patrol ship is the only fight. After that the mission is a short trip back to Rigel VII.
Where and what warp
You can accept Extraction at warp 1, and warp 10 is enough to reach Nausicaa and Rigel. The recommended level is 10. Both systems are rated a little higher than that, Nausicaa at level 12 and Rigel at level 13, which is why the local hostiles can be a step up from what a level 10 ship usually fights.
The game lists Takret Militia and Nausicaan Outlaws in Nausicaa at level 9 to 15, and Nausicaan Outlaws in Rigel at level 10 to 16. They are not mission targets. At level 10, fly directly to Azaxa rather than engaging the higher-level ones.
Extraction rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1★ Survey Parts | 25 |
Extraction does not unlock a follow-up. It comes after Arbitration, where the Varudeans host peace talks between Rigel and Nausicaa.
Extraction and Arbitration compared
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbitration | 9 | 10 | 8,000 Parsteel, 500 Officer XP, 1 Lucia Gonzales shard |
| Extraction | 10 | 10 | 25 1★ Survey Parts |
Both missions need warp 10, and the story carries straight on from the talks in Arbitration to the rescue in Extraction. Arbitration pays resources and an officer shard; Extraction pays only ship parts.
Other Rigel missions at this level
Rigel is the base for a long list of early missions that also finish at warp 10. Encroachment (level 13) has you clear Nausicaan Outlaws from the Rigel system, and Suspicion (level 17) sends the Rigellian ambassador on a peacekeeping mission to a Nausicaan colony. If you are working through the Rigel and Nausicaa story, both are worth picking up next.
Tips
The Nausicaan Patrol ship is under 2,400 strength, so any combat ship at level 10 should manage it. The objective asks you to disable it, and it is the only enemy you have to face.
Save the 25 Survey Parts for the survey ship you use most for mining. At this stage a batch of 25 goes a long way toward its next tier.
