Forced into Hiding is a Federation-side mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you scout systems deep in Federation space for a new Andorian home. You check New Calgary, defeat a Territorial Thug there, scout Kri and then decide how to deal with Letuh: pay an 8.1 million Dilithium bribe or use intimidation. The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 105 to complete. Both paths pay 311,000 Federation Points; the bribe adds refined crystal, and intimidation adds Dilithium.
Forced into Hiding objectives
The mission opens with four shared steps:
- Scout the first potential system for the Andorian relocation. Location: New Calgary.
- Defeat the Territorial Thug. Location: New Calgary (enemy strength about 2,726,322).
- Scout the second potential system for the Andorian relocation. Location: Kri.
- Decide how to deal with Letuh.

Where and what warp
Forced into Hiding has no pickup system and starts at warp 1. You need warp 105 to complete it, covering New Calgary and Kri. Both paths end back at your station.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. Warp 105 and a Territorial Thug near 2.7 million strength apply on both paths, and each path then adds either an 8.1 million Dilithium payment or a fight above 4.3 million strength.
Forced into Hiding rewards
| Reward | Path 1 (bribe) | Path 2 (intimidate) |
|---|---|---|
| 4★ Rare Refined Crystal | 28 | none |
| 4★ Uncommon Refined Crystal | 100 | none |
| Dilithium | none | 3,780,000 |
| 100K Dilithium Token | none | 38 |
| Federation Credits | 600 | 600 |
| Federation Points | 311,000 | 311,000 |

Completing either path unlocks the next mission in the chain.
Forced into Hiding and neighbouring missions
Before this mission comes Banishment, where you attend the Federation inquisition as a representative of the Andorian people. After it comes Acquiring Capital, where you gather materials for the new Andorian settlement on Valo. Banishment needs warp 95; Acquiring Capital matches this mission at warp 105.
Tips
Path 2 is the better trade if your ship can win. The bribe costs 8.1 million Dilithium, while intimidation pays 3.78 million Dilithium plus 38 100K Dilithium Tokens, a total of 7.58 million. That is a swing of over 15 million Dilithium between the two choices.
Choose Path 1 only if the 4.3 million strength fight is out of reach and you have the Dilithium to spare.
Repair after the Territorial Thug, since both fights on Path 2 are large. For the rest of the Andorian storyline, see the STFC mission guide.
