Far From Home is a rescue mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. A group of traders has gone missing in the Vindemiatrix system, and you find them, clear four hostiles and bring the traders back to Rigel. It is picked up in Labac or Obilent and needs warp 12 to start and to finish. The game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 28,000 Parsteel, a good return for three quick objectives at this stage of the game.
Far From Home objectives
There are three objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Find the missing colonists in Vindemiatrix. Location: Vindemiatrix.
- Defeat 4 Hostiles in Vindemiatrix. Location: Vindemiatrix.
- Return the traders to Rigel. Location: Rigel.
The four kills have to happen in Vindemiatrix itself, and there is no named boss. Once they are done, the last leg is a flight to Rigel with the traders.
Where and what warp
Far From Home is offered in two systems, Labac and Obilent. Warp 12 is enough to accept it and to complete it, because Vindemiatrix and Rigel are both within that range.
The listed recommended level is 1, but the hostiles are the real check. The game lists only Pakled Thieves in Vindemiatrix, at level 12 to 18, so those are the ships that fill the four-kill objective.
Far From Home rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 28,000 |
Far From Home is a standalone mission and does not unlock a follow-up.
Vindemiatrix is a level 15 neutral system, and Far From Home is one of the lighter missions that pass through it. No Stone Unturned, A Moral Compass and Temporary Setback also visit Vindemiatrix and finish at warp 13, one step further than this one.
Other missions from Labac and Obilent
Labac and Obilent share a group of low-warp missions. Many of them pay Parsteel too, so it is easy to stack a few in one trip.
| Mission | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Far From Home | 12 | 28,000 Parsteel |
| Knowledge is Power | 12 | 31,000 Parsteel |
| Red Handed | 13 | 20,000 Parsteel |
| Work Ethic | 13 | 14,000 Parsteel, 3 Next Gen Crusher shards |
Knowledge is Power pays slightly more Parsteel, and Work Ethic is the one to pick if you want officer shards as well.
Tips
Clear the four hostiles before you head for Rigel. The objectives run in order, so the return trip only counts once the Vindemiatrix fights are done.
Pakled Thieves go up to level 18 in Vindemiatrix. If your ship is still small, pick targets at the low end of that range, since the objective asks only for four kills and does not set a minimum level.
