Outage is a level 70 neutral mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about a research station in Donrunei that keeps losing power. You pick it up in Donrunei and need warp 1,550 to start and to complete. It asks for a 250K Σ-Parsteel donation and one fight against a Surgewalker at about 4.3 trillion strength, with no choice split. The reward is 140,000 Σ-Tritanium, 2,000,000 7★ Raw Gas, 80 1 Day Speed Ups and 1 Gravimetric Data, with no reputation change.
Outage objectives
Doctor Fay and her colleague Frederick stayed on at their station after nearby surges scared most people away. They study efficient food production, and their experiments keep failing because the power drops out. The seven objectives are:
- Investigate the malfunctioning equipment in Donrunei.
- Donate 250K Σ-Parsteel to fix the generator.
- Wait for an outage in Donrunei.
- Locate the power spike in Olmihn.
- Defeat the Surgewalker in Olmihn (enemy strength ~4,276,349,487,805).
- Investigate the power spike in Olmihn.
- Return to the research station in Donrunei.
Maia finds the backup generator’s capacitors overloaded by a power spike, and the Σ-Parsteel pays for the repair. Fay suspects the outages will return, so you wait in the lab with Frederick, who is too absorbed in his sugar chemistry to notice visitors. When the lights go out again, Maia traces the spike to Olmihn.
A Surgewalker ship intercepts you there. After it is beaten, the real cause turns up on a nearby planet: Adani and Caela, two travellers pulled through the anomaly from their own side, have rigged an antimatter beam from their wrecked ship’s warp engine to try to punch a way home. They agree to stop and come back with you to apologise, and Fay offers them work as her assistants.
Where and what warp
Everything happens in two systems. Donrunei is the pickup and holds the station, and Olmihn has the power spike, the fight and the wreck. Warp 1,550 is enough for both the start and the finish. The recommended level is 70.

Outage and other neutral missions around level 70
Several unaligned story missions share warp 1,550 and give 1 Gravimetric Data without any reputation cost. Outage has one of the larger payouts among them:

Tips
The 250K Σ-Parsteel is a big ask at level 70, and it is due as the second objective, before any fighting. Check your stock first. The return is 140,000 Σ-Tritanium, so Outage mostly converts one Σ resource into another, with the Raw Gas and speed ups on top.
The single fight is in Olmihn, five steps in. One Surgewalker at about 4.3 trillion is the only threat, and after it the last two steps are an investigation and the trip back to Donrunei, so a damaged ship can still finish.
The 2 million 7★ Raw Gas and 80 1 Day Speed Ups make this one of the more useful neutral missions for a player saving time on upgrades. Nothing here changes faction standing. The Margins chain introduces the region, and more missions by level are on the mission guide.
