Pisces of Eight is a level 60 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you rescue Pisces, a young mathematics and astrophysics prodigy, from a pirate crew. It is picked up in Omega Rura, needs warp 700 to start and to complete, and all of the travel stays inside that system. You pay 3,000,000 Dilithium for a tip and fight one pirate ship at the end. The reward is 2,160,000,000 Dilithium and a 12 Hr Peace Shield, a big return on a small outlay.
Pisces of Eight objectives
A distress call from the planet Eight reports that Pisces has been taken from her home. Her mother, Aries Silver, explains that the family are farmers in a poor system with little law enforcement, and names the kidnapper: Captain Sangre, who likes to think of himself as the most feared pirate in Omega Rura. His base on the edge of the system turns out to be empty.

Narian suggests finding someone who will sell Sangre’s location, and a scan turns up a likely bar on the planet Urra. The informant, Torquad, has no love for Sangre but still wants to be paid. With his tip you wait for Sangre at the edge of the system as he returns from business in Lekin-196. While you pose as rival pirates, your ship’s AI hacks his systems and beams Pisces aboard. Sangre refuses to back down, which starts the final fight.
There is no choice split.
Where and what warp
The pickup system is Omega Rura, and the mission lists warp 700 to start and to complete. The planet Eight, Sangre’s empty base, the informant’s bar on Urra and the interception point are all in Omega Rura, so after the first trip every step is local. The payment step has no location. The recommended level is 60.
Pisces of Eight rewards

Pisces of Eight is a standalone mission and does not unlock a follow-up part.
Tips
Keep 3,000,000 Dilithium on hand before you accept. The payment is the fourth step, and the mission waits there until it is made. Against a reward of over 2.1 billion Dilithium, it is a very small cost.
The only fight is Sangre’s ship at the end, listed at about 1.91 billion strength. Everything before it is travel and dialogue, so you can send your combat ship from the start and it will arrive at the fight undamaged.
The 12 Hr Peace Shield is worth holding until you need it, for example when you expect to be offline while carrying cargo or resources you do not want to lose.
Omega Rura also hosts Thanks for the Memory Sticks, another level 60 mission at warp 700 that pays 720,000,000 Dilithium, so the two can be run on the same trip. For more missions at this level, see the mission guide, and the resources overview covers the game’s materials.
