Loyalties Part 4 is the fourth mission in the Orion Syndicate’s Loyalties chain in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 10. It starts at warp 1 with a trip back to Orion and needs warp 8 to complete. The Orions want to build up the reputation of their new venture, and you choose how: mine for them or fight their rivals. Both paths pay Parsteel plus ship parts, with a different bonus on each side.
Loyalties Part 4 objectives
The mission opens with two shared steps and then splits:
- Return to Orion. Location: Orion.
- How should we get the word out? (choice)
Secure resources for the Syndicate
- Find a mining spot. Location: Cara Beta.
- Mine 200 Parsteel.
- Return to Ghrush. Location: Orion.
Rewards for this path: 60 Recruit Tokens, 5,000 Parsteel and 220 1★ Battleship Parts.
Take out the Syndicate’s rivals
- Defeat 15 hostiles of level 10 or higher.
- Return to Ghrush. Location: Orion.
Rewards for this path: 5 30 Minute Speed Ups, 6,000 Parsteel and 270 1★ Interceptor Parts.
The two paths end in the same place, back with Ghrush in Orion. The mining path adds a trip to Cara Beta, while the combat path leaves the location of the 15 hostiles up to you.
Where and what warp
The first objective sends you to Orion, and that is where both paths finish. Warp 1 is enough to take the mission, but warp 8 is needed to complete it. The recommended level is 10, the same as the rest of the Loyalties chain.
Loyalties Part 4 rewards
| Path | Parsteel | Ship parts | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secure resources | 5,000 | 220 1★ Battleship Parts | 60 Recruit Tokens |
| Take out rivals | 6,000 | 270 1★ Interceptor Parts | 5 30 Minute Speed Ups |
Either path unlocks Loyalties Part 5.
How Part 4 fits the Loyalties chain
Part 3 is a short station task: bring Ghrush to your Station, donate 6,000 Parsteel and claim your Syndicate points, all at warp 1. Part 4 then pays back 5,000 or 6,000 Parsteel, depending on the path you choose. Part 5 sends you to Clytomenes at warp 7 to destroy the USS Northwood and defeat Dix, and it pays a Ghrush shard, 2,600 Parsteel and 250 Ship XP. Every part, with both sides of each choice, is on the Loyalties chain guide.
Tips
Pick the path that matches the ship you want to grow. The mining side pays Battleship Parts and the combat side pays Interceptor Parts, so the parts are the real difference here; the Parsteel gap is only 1,000.
If you are short on combat power, the mining path is the safer run. It has no fight at all, only a trip to Cara Beta and 200 Parsteel to mine.
The combat path suits a player who is already out killing hostiles. Any 15 hostiles of level 10 or higher count, with no system named, so you can finish it wherever you are grinding. Every other mission by level is on the mission guide.
