Looking Glass is an early story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about searching for Commander Spock. The game lists a recommended level of 1, it starts at warp 1, and it needs warp 5 to complete. The trail runs through Imgra and Honsao, with a 2,500 Parsteel payment to a miner along the way. The reward is 12 2★ Uncommon Refined Ore and 180 Dilithium, and it unlocks Broken Mirror. It is a quick, fight-free mission.
Looking Glass objectives
The story line is to search for Commander Spock. There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Follow Uhura’s directions to Imgra. Location: Imgra.
- Trace the ship to Dejugei. Location: Imgra.
- Pay the miner 2,500 Parsteel.
- Find the transporter signal in Honsao. Location: Honsao.
The first two steps both happen in Imgra: you arrive on Uhura’s directions, then trace the ship to Dejugei inside the same system. The miner wants 2,500 Parsteel for what he knows, and that payment points you to Honsao, where the transporter signal closes out the mission. No enemy is listed at any point.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. Looking Glass starts at warp 1 and needs warp 5 to complete, and Imgra and Honsao are the only systems it uses. That is a low requirement even among early missions, so most ships can run it as soon as it appears.
The recommended level is 1, and with no combat step the warp 5 requirement and the small Parsteel payment are all that stand in the way.
Looking Glass rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2★ Uncommon Refined Ore | 12 |
| Dilithium | 180 |
Completing Looking Glass unlocks the next mission, Broken Mirror.
How it compares with the next mission
Looking Glass comes after Reflection and hands straight over to Broken Mirror, which continues the same search. Current game data:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Fights | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Looking Glass | 5 | None | 12 2★ Uncommon Refined Ore, 180 Dilithium |
| Broken Mirror | 8 | Nausicaan Raider in Fostaa (about 1,870) | 75 Premium Recruit Tokens, 11,000 Officer XP, 20 Recruit Tokens |
Broken Mirror raises the warp to 8 and adds a fight, so Looking Glass is the easy half of the pair. Looking Glass pays in materials, while Broken Mirror pays in recruit tokens and Officer XP.
Tips
Keep 2,500 Parsteel spare before you set out. The payment comes in the middle of the mission, and having it ready means you can go straight from Imgra to Honsao.
Any ship works. Nothing in Looking Glass needs to be fought, so a survey or mining ship that can reach warp 5 will finish it and leave your combat ship free.
Hold on to the 12 2★ Uncommon Refined Ore. Refined ore is used in upgrades and is slow to build up early on, so a flat handout of it is worth more than the small number suggests. If you want to push on, have a combat-ready ship available for Broken Mirror, where the Nausicaan Raider waits. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
