IDIQ 6: No Plan Survives First Contact closes the three-mission No Plan Survives First Contact story in the IDIQ series, and in-game it is listed as Part 3. After Q Junior’s attempts to rid an assimilated universe of the Borg, you return to the Resistance base and help stabilize that universe so the galactic anomaly can close. The game lists a recommended level of 61, the mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 320 to complete, and it runs through Assimilated Wolf and K’Biuk. The headline reward is 3 Cat Spock shards, alongside 1,100 Trait XP and 600 3 Hour Speed Ups.
IDIQ 6: No Plan Survives First Contact Part 3
The story line is to stabilize the Assimilated universe and stop the galactic anomaly. Instead of another grand plan, Q Junior learns to help in smaller ways: disabling Borg ships and freeing the drones inside.
- Reach the Resistance base, in Assimilated Wolf.
- Grant the Resistance 5,000 6★ Raw Ore.
- Defeat 3 Hostiles of Level 60 or higher in the K’Biuk system.
- Assist in de-assimilating the captured Borg drones, in Assimilated Wolf.
- Return to your Station.
You start at the Resistance base in Assimilated Wolf, donate 5,000 6★ Raw Ore for ship repairs, then clear three level 60 hostiles in K’Biuk. The mission sends you back to Assimilated Wolf to help with the captured drones and ends at your Station. There is no named enemy and no choice split. Warp to complete: 320.
Rewards: 1,100 Trait XP, 600 3 Hour Speed Up, 1 2 Hr Peace Shield, 3x Cat Spock (shards).
The No Plan Survives First Contact missions compared
All three missions are recommended for level 61. IDIQ 6 is the lightest of the three in combat but still needs warp 320.
| Mission | Warp to complete | Main tasks | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDIQ 4: No Plan Survives First Contact | 320 | Three fights in Assimilated Sol and Assimilated Sirius (~2.11 to 2.22 billion) | 400 Replicator Rations, 3,525,000,000 Tritanium, 36,000 6★ Broken Battleship Parts, 108,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium |
| IDIQ 5: No Plan Survives First Contact | 500 | 8 hostiles (level 60+), two fights (~2.13 billion), 10B Parsteel payment | 71,000 6★ Broken Interceptor Parts, 1,350,000,000 Dilithium, 50 Quantum Communicators, 90,000 6★ Raw Crystal |
| IDIQ 6: No Plan Survives First Contact | 320 | 5,000 6★ Raw Ore donation, 3 hostiles (level 60+) in K’Biuk | 1,100 Trait XP, 600 3 Hour Speed Up, 1 2 Hr Peace Shield, 3x Cat Spock shards |
Tips for completing IDIQ 6: No Plan Survives First Contact
Have 5,000 6★ Raw Ore ready. The donation is the second objective and the mission waits on it, so stock up before you travel out to Assimilated Wolf.
The objective asks for three hostiles of level 60 or higher in the K’Biuk system specifically, so fly there first and clear them in one visit.
The route bounces between Assimilated Wolf and K’Biuk before sending you home, and the whole mission needs warp 320. Check your ship’s range before you start.
Are the IDIQ 6: No Plan Survives First Contact rewards worth it?
Yes, especially if you want Cat Spock. The 3 Cat Spock shards come with 1,100 Trait XP, 600 3 Hour Speed Ups and a 2 Hr Peace Shield, and the only costs are 5,000 6★ Raw Ore and three level 60 hostiles. It is the easiest mission of the three. For more on the anomaly story, see the Origin Sector arc and the STFC mission guide.
