Intellectual Curiosity is a level 71 Klingon mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you take a House Sov officer out to scan a system he is not supposed to be visiting. It starts in Uyama and needs warp 1,550 for both the start and the finish. There is no choice split, and the only combat is a count of 10 hostiles at level 71 or higher. The rewards are 750,000 7★ Raw Gas, 500 Klingon Recruit Tokens, 900 Σ-Klingon Credits and 1 Gravimetric Data.
Intellectual Curiosity objectives
Officer Ygrokh has heard that you are to be House Sov’s champion within the Empire, and he wants a small favour first: some research in Kithmór. The four objectives are:
- Proceed to Kithmór.
- Defeat 10 hostiles of level 71 or higher.
- Conduct the scans in Kithmór.
- Return to Uyama.
Ygrokh has heard stories of warped ships and the creatures aboard them, and in Kithmór he gets to open a channel to one. The Surgewalker only groans back, and several of its ships close in. After the fight, Maia asks why he came to an Independent instead of his own House. He starts to answer, then stops himself.
The scans find a spatial instability that his long-range telemetry had hinted at. Ygrokh thinks these small irregularities are spread across the Margins, tied to the central anomaly and a warning sign of the dimensional surges. Back in Uyama he admits the real bonus: he skipped Captain Gorthak’s strategy meeting, and he would like that kept quiet.
Where and what warp
The mission is picked up in Uyama, the work happens in Kithmór, and you hand it in back in Uyama. Warp 1,550 covers the whole route. The recommended level is 71.

How it compares with other House Sov missions
At level 71 the Klingon list has just two missions, and they suit different players. The level 70 and 72 missions below round out the options at a similar warp:
| Mission | Level | Pickup | Warp | Main rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intellectual Curiosity | 71 | Uyama | 1,550 | 750,000 7★ Raw Gas, 500 Klingon Recruit Token, 900 Σ-Klingon Credits |
| The Words of Great M’Frull | 71 | Kheania | 1,550 | 911,000 Σ-Tritanium, 160,000 7★ Broken Battleship Parts, 3,200 Σ-Klingon Credits |
| Chronicles of Sov | 70 | Otralitea | 1,550 | 3,100 Σ-Dilithium, 500 Klingon Recruit Token, 3,900 Klingon Credits |
| Left Behind Part 1 | 72 | Muirnia | 1,600 | 677,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 4,000 Trait XP, 700 Σ-Klingon Credits |
Intellectual Curiosity costs nothing to run, while The Words of Great M’Frull asks for two resource donations. The trade-off is that the M’Frull mission pays more than three times the Σ-Klingon Credits.
Tips
The kill objective names no system and asks only for hostiles of level 71 or higher. The story puts the Surgewalkers in Kithmór, though, and you have to be there for the scans anyway, so clearing them on the spot is the shortest route. No enemy strength is listed for the step.
Recruit tokens are the reason to pick this one. It is the only level 71 Klingon mission with 500 Klingon Recruit Tokens in the payout, and the 750,000 7★ Raw Gas is a solid bonus on top.
Reputation shifts the usual way for Klingon missions here: 14.6 billion Klingon Points in, with larger Romulan losses. The faction reputation page covers the totals. House Sov’s part of the region is set up in the Margins chain, and the mission guide lists everything else at this level.
