Pay Your Debts 1 is the opening part of the Pay Your Debts chain in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 28. It is a station-bound mission: the data lists warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, and no system is named for any objective. You confront Mudd, go home, defeat a Debt Collector of about 133,290 strength, and return to your station again. The reward is 142,000 Tritanium, 200 Recruit Tokens and 8 Latinum, and finishing it unlocks Pay Your Debts 2.
Pay Your Debts 1 objectives
The story line is a single instruction: stop the debt collector. There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Confront Mudd.
- Return to your Station.
- Defeat the Debt Collector. Enemy strength is roughly 133,290.
- Return to your Station.
The mission alternates between a story beat and a trip home. First you confront Mudd, then you return to your station. The Debt Collector is the one fight, and after it you return to your station a second time to close the mission out.
None of the four objectives has a location in the game data, so the page cannot tell you which system Mudd or the Debt Collector will appear in.
Where and what warp
There is no pickup system, and both warp values are 1, so the mission sets no warp requirement of its own. The recommended level is 28, and the Debt Collector at about 133,290 is the only combat check.
Because the last objective is a return to your station, the mission finishes with your ship docked.
Pay Your Debts 1 rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 142,000 |
| Recruit Token | 200 |
| Latinum | 8 |
Completing it also unlocks Pay Your Debts 2.
Other missions with Mudd
Mudd appears in other missions too. Two of them make useful comparisons for difficulty and payout, one well below this level and one just above it.
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Fight | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Made You Look | 12 | 11 | Mudd’s drone, about 3,760 | 7 2★ Common Refined Gas, 6 2★ Interceptor Parts, 10,000 Parsteel |
| Pay Your Debts 1 | 28 | 1 | Debt Collector, about 133,290 | 142,000 Tritanium, 200 Recruit Token, 8 Latinum |
| Where the Faction is Fractioned | 29 | 22 | Khan’s ship (about 344,145) and Mudd’s ship (about 347,055) | 35 Augment Credits |
Pay Your Debts 1 has the easiest route of the three, with no warp at all, and a single fight well below the two in Where the Faction is Fractioned.
Tips
Bring a combat ship. Two objectives are trips home and one is a story beat, but the Debt Collector at about 133,290 is a real fight.
Repair between the fight and the next part. The mission ends at your station, so it is a natural point to fix any damage before Pay Your Debts 2.
The 200 Recruit Tokens and 142,000 Tritanium are the bulk of the value; the 8 Latinum is a small extra. Every other mission sorted by level is on the mission guide.
