A Great Escape is a ten-part Star Trek Fleet Command mission chain in which you rejoin the Bajorans, break Worf out of a Cardassian prison, and then follow the Enterprise crew through a string of inter-dimensional rifts. It is built for level 34 commanders, begins at the Bajoran outpost in Kejal, and most parts need warp 25. Across the chain you collect five Worf shards, over 3.6 million Tritanium, 3 million Parsteel, 900 Premium Recruit Tokens and hundreds of 3★ ship parts. The fights sit around 650,000 to 675,000 strength, so it pays well for a solid mid-game fleet.

Tips for completing A Great Escape
Save 2M Tritanium before you accept Part 1, since the donation comes right after you reach the outpost. The chain pays that back many times over: Parts 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9 together return more than 3.6 million Tritanium.
Warp is the main gate. Parts 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 10 need warp 25, Part 7 needs 20 and Part 8 needs 18, while only Parts 1 and 5 stay at warp 5. If your ship falls short, plan refuel stops before you head into Cardassian space.
The named fights fall into a narrow band between about 647,000 and 673,000 strength. The Glinn Vurlon, the Cardassian Legate and the Cardassian ship at Amok’tal are the toughest at around 673,107. Part 5 puts two of these fights back to back at Kejal, so repair between them. The hostile-kill tasks in Parts 3, 4 and 10 accept any hostile of the required level, so knock them out wherever you can find level 31 or 32 targets quickly.
The choice in Part 5 does not change the rewards. When the chain ends, the story carries on in A Blessing and a Bane, and the mission guide lists the other chains at this level.
Are the A Great Escape rewards worth it?
Yes. For a level 34 commander, the resource haul is large: over 3.6 million Tritanium, 3 million Parsteel, 900 Premium Recruit Tokens, 51,000 Officer XP and big stacks of 3★ Survey, Battleship, Explorer and Interceptor parts. Five Worf shards and more than 180 hours of speed-ups top it off. The cost is the 2M Tritanium donation, a lot of warp 25 travel, nine named fights near 650,000 strength and 25 hostile kills, which a mid-game fleet can handle.
