Nobody Needs To Know is a five-part Dominion story chain that opens with a Yridian dealer on Deep Space Nine and ends with you deciding whether to quietly help the Dominion invade the Alpha Quadrant. All five parts are tuned for level 50. Across the run you collect shards for Pon and Weyoun, 552,500,000 Parsteel, 16,500,000 Dilithium, 143,100,000 Tritanium, 10,000 Latinum, and 1,100 3★ Battleship Parts. If you are level 50 and want Dominion officer shards out of story content, this is a solid week of missions.

Tips for completing Nobody Needs To Know
Warp is the gate here, not combat. Part 3 asks for warp 160, roughly double anything else in the chain, and there is no way around it. Parts 1 and 2 need 61 and 80, and the last two sit at 56. If your best ship tops out under 160, get Parts 1 and 2 done and then plan a research or ship swap before Toen.
Every named target lands between 22 and 26 million strength, and the grind objectives cap at level 47 hostiles, so a level 50 account with a decent battleship crew is not going to struggle on any single fight. Repair time is the real drain, which makes the 300 repair speed ups on the Part 2 safety path and the 600 from Part 3 worth holding rather than burning.
Part 5’s three endings pay identical rewards, so take the cheapest one for your account. Fighting the Jem’Hadar happens right where you already are and costs a repair bill. Escorting the fleet to Azati adds travel plus one fight. Sending 50,000,000 Tritanium buys your way out with no combat, which only makes sense if you are sitting on Tritanium you cannot spend.
On the Part 2 branch, the question is whether 1,000,000,000 Parsteel is worth trading for 26,500,000 Dilithium. At level 50 that is a real amount of Parsteel, and the safety path gives you the repair speed ups instead. Both paths hand over the same battleship parts and ship XP, so nothing scarce is riding on the decision.
The Singularity Apex shows up in Parts 2, 4, and 5, so once the chain moves there you can leave your ship parked nearby and cut down travel between missions.
Are the Nobody Needs To Know rewards worth it?
Yes, if you can reach warp 160. The chain hands over 2 Pon shards, 2 Weyoun shards, 552,500,000 Parsteel, 143,100,000 Tritanium, 10,000 Latinum, and 1,100 3★ Battleship Parts, with no forced donation cost at all if you take the safety path in Part 2 and the Jem’Hadar fight in Part 5. Five parts at a single level tier and no mining objectives make this one of the faster level 50 story runs for what it pays.
