Past Sins is an early Star Trek Fleet Command mission in which Starfleet needs someone to hunt down dangerous fugitives, discreetly. It is picked up in Whinnul or Grenfil, recommended for level 10, and needs warp 5 to start and warp 8 to complete. You track the Section 31 fugitives through Somaochu and Nausicaa, clearing five hostiles along the way and beating two named targets, Karen Jenson and Jason Simmons. The reward is 2,400 Parsteel, so this is a mission to run for progress more than for loot.
Past Sins objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Track down the Section 31 fugitives. Location: Somaochu.
- Defeat 5 hostiles of level 9 or higher.
- Defeat Karen Jenson. Location: Somaochu. Enemy strength is roughly 1,416.
- Find Jason Simmons. Location: Nausicaa.
- Defeat Simmons. Location: Nausicaa. Enemy strength is roughly 1,870.
The trail starts in Somaochu. Before you reach the first fugitive, the mission asks for five kills against hostiles of level 9 or higher, with no system named, so any qualifying hostiles count.
Karen Jenson is the first named target at about 1,416 strength. Jason Simmons has moved on to Nausicaa, and defeating him at about 1,870 strength completes the mission, with no return-to-station step.
Where and what warp
You pick up Past Sins in Whinnul or Grenfil. It needs warp 5 to start and warp 8 to complete, since Nausicaa sits a little further out.
The recommended level is 10. Simmons is the strongest named target at around 1,870, so plan around a fight of that size.
Past Sins rewards
The mission pays 2,400 Parsteel. Past Sins is a standalone mission and does not unlock a follow-up.
Other Whinnul and Grenfil missions
Whinnul and Grenfil are the pickup points for a small group of early missions, all at low warp. Current game data:
| Mission | Recommended level | What you do | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homefield | 9 | Defeat 5 hostile ships of level 8 or higher | 50 Premium Recruit Token |
| Stuck in the Past | 9 | Defeat a Nausicaan Defender and T’Kama in Fostaa, steal T’Kama’s banners | 20 Recruit Token, 2,500 Parsteel |
| Past Sins | 10 | Hunt two Section 31 fugitives and 5 hostiles | 2,400 Parsteel |
| Crashlander | 11 | Follow a distress signal to Maluria and decide who to trust | 1 Lucia Gonzales shard or 25 1★ Survey Parts, depending on your choice |
Past Sins is the only one of these that needs more than warp 5, and it has the most steps. Its Parsteel reward is close to Stuck in the Past, which asks for less.
Tips
Look at Homefield while you are in Whinnul or Grenfil. It also asks for low-level hostile kills, five of level 8 or higher, and it pays 50 Premium Recruit Tokens.
Repair before Nausicaa if Jenson and the five hostiles have worn your ship down. Simmons is the stronger of the two named fugitives.
Check your warp before accepting. Warp 8 is a small step up from the warp 5 of the other missions here. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
