Initiative is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission where you help a struggling colony deal with a slaver gang. You clear 23 hostiles of level 39 or higher, defeat the Orion Underboss in Mina and return the colonists to their home. The mission is picked up in Sileo and needs warp 64 to start and finish. The reward is 30,360,000 Parsteel and 600 4★ Common Battleship Parts, a large payout for a mission with a clear combat focus.
Initiative objectives
There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Defeat 23 hostiles of level 39 or higher.
- Defeat the Orion Underboss. Location: Mina (enemy strength about 1,969,977).
- Return the colonists to their home. Location: Mina.
The mission starts straight into combat. The first objective asks for 23 kills against hostiles of level 39 or higher, with no system attached, so any qualifying targets count. Next comes the Orion Underboss in Mina, listed at nearly 2 million strength. Once the Underboss is beaten, you return the colonists home in the same system and the mission is done.
Where and what warp
You accept Initiative in Sileo. Warp 64 is needed to start and to complete, and the named objectives are all in Mina.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. Warp 64, a 23-kill objective against level 39 or higher hostiles and an Underboss near 2 million strength are the real requirements.
Initiative rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 30,360,000 |
| 4★ Common Battleship Parts | 600 |
No reputation points or follow-up mission are attached. The payout is entirely Parsteel and battleship parts.
Initiative and Initial Errands compared
Initial Errands uses the same warp 64 range and also runs through Sileo, so the two missions are easy to plan together.
| Mission | Warp to complete | Fights | Main rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initiative | 64 | 23 hostiles of level 39+, Orion Underboss (~1,969,977) | 30,360,000 Parsteel, 600 4★ Common Battleship Parts |
| Initial Errands | 64 | The Italus (~1,075,836) on the Syndicate path only | 21,000,000 Parsteel with Tritanium and Dilithium, or 200 Premium Recruit Tokens |
Initiative pays more Parsteel than the Syndicate path in Initial Errands, but it asks for far more fighting.
Tips
Clear the 23 hostiles wherever your ship is strongest. The objective does not name a system, so pick level 39 or higher targets that your crew handles cleanly.
Repair before heading to Mina. The Orion Underboss is almost twice as strong as the Italus in Initial Errands, and you will likely arrive after a long kill streak.
The Battleship Parts are useful if you are working on a battleship at this stage. For other missions around warp 64, see the STFC mission guide.
