Mudd’s Mudd is a level 40 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you answer a distress call on Harry Mudd’s emergency frequency and end up carrying Ro to the Orion Syndicate and on to her hideout. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 47 to finish. Along the way you bribe a Security Chief 250k Tritanium and fight three ships above 4 million strength. The reward is 30 each of 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas, Crystal and Ore, plus 800 Ultra Recruit Tokens. It is a long, combat-heavy mission with a balanced refined payout.
Mudd’s Mudd objectives
There are eight objectives and no choice split:
- Respond to the distress call in Alpha Centauri. Location: Alpha Centauri.
- Bribe the Security Chief 250k Tritanium.
- Take the Rogues to Yoruba. Location: Yoruba.
- Destroy Captain Salo’s ship. Location: Yoruba (enemy strength ~4,339,888).
- Eliminate the remaining Bounty Hunter ship. Location: Yoruba (enemy strength ~4,301,671).
- Transport Ro to the Orion Syndicate. Location: Orion.
- Take down Underboss Thavva. Location: Orion (enemy strength ~5,867,534).
- Bring Ro to her hideout. Location: Yuma.
The distress call leads to Alpha Centauri, where a 250k Tritanium bribe gets things moving. You take the Rogues to Yoruba and fight Captain Salo and a Bounty Hunter there, then carry Ro to the Orion Syndicate, take down Underboss Thavva and finally drop Ro at her hideout in Yuma.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 47 to complete, with no pickup system. The route runs Alpha Centauri, Yoruba, Orion and Yuma.
The recommended level is 40. All three fights are above 4 million strength, and Underboss Thavva is the hardest at about 5.9 million.
Mudd’s Mudd rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas | 30 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal | 30 |
| 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore | 30 |
| Ultra Recruit Token | 800 |
Mudd’s Mudd does not unlock a follow-up mission.
The three fights
| Enemy | System | Enemy strength |
|---|---|---|
| Captain Salo’s ship | Yoruba | ~4,339,888 |
| Bounty Hunter ship | Yoruba | ~4,301,671 |
| Underboss Thavva | Orion | ~5,867,534 |
The two Yoruba fights are almost identical and come back to back. Thavva, in Orion, is the peak of the mission at about a third stronger than either.
Tips
Have 250k Tritanium ready before Alpha Centauri. The bribe is the second objective, and nothing moves on to Yoruba until it is paid.
Repair between Yoruba and Orion. You fight twice in Yoruba, and the trip to the Orion Syndicate is your chance to recover before the toughest fight in the mission.
The 800 Ultra Recruit Tokens are the most valuable part of the reward for most players. The refined materials are small at level 40 but come in all three types, so none of them go to waste.
The mission is named for Harry Mudd, whose emergency frequency starts the whole thing. More missions around level 40 are on the mission guide.
