Nobody’s Fool III is the last of the three Nobody’s Fool missions in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 52. You drive Section 31 out of Immortal space, starting with the intruder in Lyklaset, then choose between disarming a bomb and stopping the intruder from escaping. It starts at warp 1 after Nobody’s Fool II and needs warp 285. Disarming the bomb pays 3 billion Parsteel and 238,950,000 Tritanium; stopping the intruder pays 35,000 Officer XP and 1,100 3 Hour Speed Ups. Both paths end with a confrontation with Holloway.
Nobody’s Fool III objectives
Two shared objectives open the mission:
- Track down the intruder. Location: Lyklaset.
- Disable the intruder’s vessel. Location: Lyklaset.
Then you decide what to do: a bomb has been left behind, and the intruder is getting away.
Disarm the bomb
- Expend 40M Dilithium to disrupt the explosive.
- Catch up to the intruder. Location: Adrisilver.
- Confront Holloway. Location: Vesteja.
Rewards for this path: 3,000,000,000 Parsteel, 238,950,000 Tritanium, 800 Romulan Credits, 1,200,000 Romulan Points, -1,497,600 Federation Points.
Stop the intruder from escaping
- Capture the intruder. Location: Lyklaset.
- Get to a safe distance. Location: Magnus.
- Confront Holloway. Location: Vesteja.
Rewards for this path: 35,000 Officer XP, 1,100 3 Hour Speed Ups, 800 Romulan Credits, 1,200,000 Romulan Points, -1,497,600 Federation Points.
On the bomb path your crew floods the ship with Dilithium to neutralize the blast. On the other path you beam the intruder aboard first and then get clear.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. Nobody’s Fool III appears at warp 1 once Nobody’s Fool II is done, and warp 285 covers both paths.
The recommended level is 52. Disabling the intruder’s vessel is the only combat step, and no enemy strength is listed for it.
Nobody’s Fool III rewards
| Reward | Disarm the bomb | Stop the intruder |
|---|---|---|
| Parsteel | 3,000,000,000 | none |
| Tritanium | 238,950,000 | none |
| Officer XP | none | 35,000 |
| 3 Hour Speed Up | none | 1,100 |
| Romulan Credits | 800 | 800 |
| Romulan Points | 1,200,000 | 1,200,000 |
| Federation Points | -1,497,600 | -1,497,600 |
This is the last Nobody’s Fool mission; no further part is unlocked. The Federation Points loss is covered on the faction reputation page.
Which path to pick
Disarming the bomb costs 40M Dilithium and pays the bigger resource haul: 3 billion Parsteel and nearly 239 million Tritanium. Stopping the intruder costs nothing and pays Officer XP and 1,100 3 Hour Speed Ups, the most speed ups anywhere in the Nobody’s Fool story.
If you can spare the Dilithium and need resources, disarm the bomb. If you are short on Dilithium or want the speed ups, let the bomb go and catch the intruder.
Tips
Both paths finish in Vesteja, so plan for that last jump either way.
Part II already paid 35,000 Officer XP, so the resource path here gives you a mix of rewards across the story rather than a second batch of XP. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
