No Holding Back is a level 72 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which the Forsaken answer House Sov’s threats with force. You pick it up in Vaunuz and need warp 1,600 to start and to finish. The mission has one outpost attack at about 6.6 trillion strength and a 10-kill hostile grind. It pays 479,000 Σ-Parsteel, fifty 1 Day Speed Ups and 1,400 Σ-Federation Credits, and those speed ups make it one of the better Forsaken missions at this level.
No Holding Back objectives
Cillian tells you the Forsaken Council wants your help with a Klingon problem. House Sov ships have been threatening a Forsaken colony in Bulnoth, demanding it join them, and the Council decides to make a show of strength against the House Sov outpost in Vakohlia. The objectives, with no choice split:
- Meet with the Council in Vaunuz.
- Proceed to Vakohlia.
- Attack the outpost in Vakohlia (enemy strength ~6,582,078,069,331).
- Return to the Council in Vaunuz.
- Proceed to Bulnoth.
- Defeat 10 hostiles of level 72 or higher.
Orasek orders the fleet to disable the outpost’s defense platforms rather than destroy it. The Klingon commander, Lieutenant Naka, refuses to back down, and by the time you return to the Council a distress call comes in from Bulnoth. The last step is a stand against a large Klingon fleet at the colony, which holds until Captain Matumo arrives with backup.
Where and what warp
The pickup is in Vaunuz, and the mission needs warp 1,600 both to start and to complete. You travel between three systems: Vaunuz for the Council, Vakohlia for the outpost and Bulnoth for the final fight. The recommended level is 72.

Tips
The outpost fight is the one to prepare for. At about 6.6 trillion strength it is well below the 11 trillion Starfleet ships in the level 73 Forsaken missions, so a ship that is comfortable at level 72 should handle it.
For the 10 kills in Bulnoth, any hostiles of level 72 or higher count. The story puts you against House Sov, whose ships include the House Sov Warship and House Sov Scout, but the objective does not require a specific target.
Fifty 1 Day Speed Ups is a large stack, worth saving for a long building upgrade. The Σ-Parsteel is explained on the Σ resources page.
Reputation shifts the usual way for Forsaken missions, with an 18.8 billion Klingon loss against a 16.1 billion Federation gain; see faction reputation before a long run of these. The mission guide lists everything else at level 72.
