Failing on the Main Front is a Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. With the Romulans decimating the Andorian Imperial Guard, Starfleet steps in to take stock. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but it is picked up in Sirius at warp 38, needs warp 47 to complete and ends with a 45,000,000 Tritanium donation. There are no fights. The reward is 400 Federation Credits, 60,000 Federation Points, 15 3★ Rare Refined Gas and an Energy Manifold, and it unlocks Icebreaker.
Failing on the Main Front objectives
Three objectives, no choice split:
- Find the location of the conflict hotzone. Location: Thama.
- Deliver news of the losses to Starfleet. Location: Alpha Centauri.
- Provide the Andorians with 45,000,000 Tritanium to rebuild their fleet.
You find the hotzone in Thama, report the losses to Starfleet at Starbase 5 in Alpha Centauri, then pay for the Andorian rebuild.

Tips
Stockpile the Tritanium before you start. 45 million is a large donation, and the mission waits at the last step until it is paid.
No combat means any ship with warp 47 range can do the travel.
Starbase 5 in Alpha Centauri is also where Admiral Johnson gives the briefing in Antenna, another Federation mission for the Andorians, so the two missions share a stop.
The story line sets up what follows: the Romulans are winning against the Andorian Imperial Guard, and your donation pays to rebuild their fleet. Icebreaker continues the Federation response.
Icebreaker, next in line, pays more Federation Points and Credits for only one more warp.
