Lend A Hand is a level 16 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you answer a Nausicaan distress call that Thornack cannot spare the crew to investigate. It is picked up in Nausicaa and needs warp 8 to start and to finish. You find the stranded ship in Nelve, give its captain 2,000 Tritanium for repairs and bring the refugees home. The reward is 5,000 Parsteel, an Orion Manifest and 2 Next Gen Crusher shards, and it unlocks One Of A Kind.
Lend A Hand objectives
There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Investigate the distress signal. Location: Nelve.
- Give Mayeil 2,000 Tritanium so he can repair his ship.
- Return to your home station with the refugees.
The distress call leads to Nelve, where Mayeil needs 2,000 Tritanium to fix his ship. With that paid, you carry the refugees back to your home station. No enemy is listed.
Where and what warp
Lend A Hand is picked up in Nausicaa and needs warp 8 to start and warp 8 to complete. Nelve is the only other system. Warp 8 matches the other Nausicaa pickups at this level, including I Fought The Law, Sonic Boom and Silence Bought.
The recommended level is 16. The only cost is the 2,000 Tritanium donation.
Lend A Hand rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 5,000 |
| Orion Manifest | 1 |
| Next Gen Crusher shards | 2 |
Completing Lend A Hand unlocks the next mission, One Of A Kind.
The Nausicaan chain
Lend A Hand opens a three-mission chain that starts with a Nausicaan distress call:
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lend A Hand | 16 | 8 | 5,000 Parsteel, 1 Orion Manifest, 2 Next Gen Crusher shards |
| One Of A Kind | 17 | 8 | 9,000 Parsteel, 10 Tritanium, 1 Orion Manifest |
| Retribution | 19 | 8 | 14,000 Parsteel, 1,200 Tritanium, 1 Orion Manifest |
All three stay at warp 8 and each pays an Orion Manifest. Lend A Hand is the only one with officer shards, and the Parsteel grows with each step.
Tips
Keep 2,000 Tritanium on hand before you reach Nelve. The donation is the second step, and the refugees cannot come home until it is paid.
The refugees ride home with you, so the last step ends at your own station rather than back in Nausicaa. That saves a trip if your next stop is the upgrade queue.
Any ship with warp 8 will do, since nothing needs fighting. Save your combat ship for One Of A Kind, which has a Kreele fight in Luca.
Nausicaa offers several other warp 8 missions around this level, such as Rite of Passage, which pays a Next Gen Data shard. More missions are on the mission guide.
