Mudd’s Sale is a level 28 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you try to find a seller for a batch of rifles in Krlakh, only for the buyer to turn out to be hostile. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 20 to finish, with one fight. The reward is 37,000 Dilithium and 181,000 Tritanium, and completing it unlocks Returning Son. It is a short, single-system job with a fair payout for the level.
Mudd’s Sale objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Collect the items. Location: Krlakh.
- Find the buyer. Location: Krlakh.
- Defeat the “buyer” (enemy strength ~296,419). Location: Krlakh.
- Return to your Station.
You collect the rifles and find the buyer in Krlakh. The deal turns into a fight, and once the so-called buyer is beaten you head home. Nothing is donated along the way.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 20 to complete, with no pickup system. Krlakh is the only system involved. Warp 20 matches Flatter to Deceive, Breakout and Returning Son, so a ship that handled the earlier missions in this stretch can make the trip.
The recommended level is 28. The fight at about 296,419 strength is the one combat check.
Mudd’s Sale rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 37,000 |
| Tritanium | 181,000 |
Completing Mudd’s Sale unlocks the next mission, Returning Son.
Mudd’s Sale and the missions around it
This stretch runs at level 28 and warp 19 to 20:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Story | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flatter to Deceive | 20 | Respond to the distress signal from the traders’ ship | 1,156,000 Parsteel, 70 5 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Breakout | 20 | Try to free the captive trader | 181,000 Tritanium, 1,228,000 Parsteel |
| Mudd’s Sale | 20 | Find a seller for the rifles | 37,000 Dilithium, 181,000 Tritanium |
| Returning Son | 20 | Fight back against the Augments | 125 Augment Credits, 4 1 Day Speed Ups |
| Old Friend/New Friend | 19 | Find the Augment pod | 26,000 Dilithium, 128,000 Tritanium |
Mudd’s Sale matches Breakout’s 181,000 Tritanium and adds Dilithium where Breakout paid Parsteel. After it the story turns toward the Augments, with Augment Credits in Returning Son.
Tips
Go in expecting a fight. The buyer is the one enemy in the mission, at about 296,419 strength, and it waits in the same system where you collect the rifles.
Since everything happens in Krlakh, there is no travel to plan beyond the round trip. Repair after the fight if you need to; the only step left is the flight home.
Both resources go straight into upgrades at level 28. Returning Son, next in line, pays Augment Credits and 1 Day Speed Ups instead of resources.
Previous mission: Breakout. Next mission: Returning Son. More level 28 missions are on the mission guide.
