Prodigal Son is a Klingon storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, part of the Arkonian storyline, where you retrieve a Loyalist prisoner and bring him back to Arkonia. The prisoner is held in Garyb, and you have to beat an Arkonian Rebel and an Arkonian Captain, both near 2 million strength, before taking him to B’Oh. It needs warp 70 to complete and lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 320 Ultra Recruit Tokens, four 1 day speed ups and Klingon faction rewards.
Prodigal Son objectives
Four objectives across two systems, no choice split:
- Retrieve a Loyalist prisoner. Location: Garyb.
- Defeat the Arkonian Rebel. Location: Garyb (enemy strength about 1,969,977).
- Defeat the Arkonian Captain. Location: Garyb (enemy strength about 1,950,820).
- Bring the prisoner back to Loyalist space. Location: B’Oh.
Everything except the delivery happens in Garyb. You collect the prisoner, then fight the Arkonian Rebel and the Arkonian Captain one after the other; the two are almost exactly the same strength. With both beaten, you take the prisoner to B’Oh in Loyalist space.
Where and what warp
There is no pickup system. Prodigal Son starts at warp 1 after Pledge of Loyalty and needs warp 70 to complete. The recommended level is listed as 1, but two fights near 2 million strength and the warp 70 range are the real bar.
Prodigal Son rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ultra Recruit Token | 320 |
| 1 Day Speed Up | 4 |
| Klingon Credits | 500 |
| Klingon Points | 180,000 |
| Romulan Points | -230,400 |
The Romulan Points figure is negative, so it is a deduction rather than a gain. Completing Prodigal Son also unlocks the next Arkonian mission.

The storyline began with Honor Your Word, which asks you to ensure the Arkonian Oligarchy’s loyalty to the Klingon Empire. Prodigal Son and Under Heel pay the same Klingon faction rewards, and all three missions here share warp 70. Later in the same storyline, Procurement Specialist moves up to warp 105.
Tips
Repair between the two Garyb fights. They are back to back and nearly identical in strength, so the second is as hard as the first.
The four 1 day speed ups add up to 96 hours, so save them for long upgrade timers. For more Klingon missions see the Klingon faction page, and the mission guide lists every mission by level.
