Glocon is a short combat mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: intercept and eliminate Glocon. The fight takes place in Opla, and Glocon is roughly 22,909 strength. The game lists a recommended level of 19 and warp 1 to start and complete. The reward is 100,000 Parsteel, and finishing it unlocks Showroom. It is a single fight for a good early Parsteel payout.
Glocon objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat Glocon. Location: Opla. Enemy strength is roughly 22,909.
No travel-only step, donation or kill count is involved. Reach Opla, beat Glocon, and the mission is done.
Where and what warp
The game lists warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete. The fight is in Opla, a neutral system, and other missions that send you to Opla, such as One Man’s Trash and Chain Breaker, list warp 13, and Chain Breaker is picked up in Opla itself at warp 13, so plan on having that range.
The recommended level is 19. That is the one mission-specific requirement the game gives, and Glocon at about 22,909 strength is the step that tests it.
Glocon rewards
The mission pays 100,000 Parsteel. Completing it also unlocks the next mission, Showroom.
How it compares with other Opla fights
Several missions send you to Opla for a fight. Current game data:
| Mission | Opla fight | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Glocon | Glocon, about 22,909 | 100,000 Parsteel |
| Chain Breaker | Orion Slavers Crose, about 16,207, and Neskar, about 18,405 | 1 1★ Survey Parts, 7,000 Officer XP |
| One Man’s Trash | USS Peacekeeper, about 12,765 | 38,000 Parsteel, 25 2★ Uncommon Refined Ore, 160 2★ Battleship Parts |
| Priceless | Security Vessel, about 12,905 | 7,000 Dilithium or 227,000 Parsteel, depending on where you take the painting |
| Too Successful | Only on one path: the Separatist Captain, about 101,520 | That path pays 850,000 Parsteel and 8 × 3 Hour Speed Up, plus Romulan Credits and Points |
Among the warp 13 and 15 missions, Glocon is the hardest Opla fight, at about 22,909 against the 12,000 to 18,000 range of the others. It also pays more Parsteel than One Man’s Trash, though Priceless pays more if you take the museum option. Too Successful is a warp 18 mission, and its Separatist Captain is a much bigger fight than Glocon.
Tips
Take a ship that clears 22,909 with room to spare. It is the only fight, so there is no damage carried in from earlier steps, but it is stronger than the Orion Slavers, the USS Peacekeeper and the Security Vessel.
If you have other Opla missions open, run them on the same trip. The table above shows several with fights in the same system.
Put the Parsteel into station upgrades. At this stage 100,000 is a useful chunk of an Operations or Shipyard level.
The mission before this one is It’s Only the Future That Didn’t Last, and the next is Showroom.
