Pilot, Surprise Me is a level 65 Romulan mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, picked up in Caralhetes. Alenor of the Goraxi asks you to lead the convoy while she test-flies a new Goraxi-built Romulan Interceptor, and the test turns into a real fight. It needs warp 1300 to start and to complete, includes 20 hostiles and a Klingon boss, and pays 240 6★ Common Refined Crystal, 368,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium and Romulan reputation. It is the only Goraxi mission at this level that pays Σ-Dilithium.
Pilot, Surprise Me objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split, all in Caralhetes:
- Accompany Alenor on the test flight. Location: Caralhetes.
- Defeat 20 hostiles of level 64 or higher.
- Defeat the Vor’Cha. Location: Caralhetes.
- Bring Alenor back to the colony. Location: Caralhetes.
Alenor starts with a quick lap of the system, then turns the weapons test into a race to see who can take out 20 targets first. Just as it ends, a Klingon Vor’Cha appears on her port side and scores a direct hit. That ship is listed at about 9.15 billion strength.
After the fight, Alenor is injured and her new ship is damaged, so you send someone to take her conn and lead the way home. She plans to tell Degar that the Klingons are finally paying attention to the Goraxi.
Where and what warp
Every objective is in Caralhetes, where the mission is picked up. Both the start and the finish need warp 1300. The recommended level is 65, and the hostiles must be level 64 or higher.

Tips
Twenty hostiles is a long hunt, and the Vor’Cha at about 9.15 billion strength follows straight after. Check your hull before the last kill of the 20.
Only hostiles of level 64 or higher count toward the 20, and the whole mission stays in Caralhetes, so there is no travel between the fights.
The Raw Σ-Dilithium is covered in the Σ resources guide.
Like every level 65 Goraxi mission, it adds 152 million Romulan Points and 3,700 Romulan Credits and removes about 158 million Klingon Points and 237 million Federation Points. See faction reputation for the tiers, the Romulan page for the Credits and the mission guide for more at this level.
