Propaganda Dealer is an early story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you turn the Takret Militia’s hostiles away from the Yridian Information Market. It is picked up in Yridia, needs only warp 5, and has two objectives: clear five hostiles in Yridia and bring the stolen data home. The recommended level is 7. The reward is 260 Tritanium and an Encryption Key, a quick payout for a short mission.
Propaganda Dealer objectives
There are two objectives and no choice split:
- Defeat 5 Hostiles in Yridia. Location: Yridia.
- Return the stolen data to your Station.
Yridia is a level 7 neutral system and the home of the Yridian Information Market. The objective names Yridia for the five hostiles, so do the fighting there. Once they are cleared, you carry the stolen data back to your station to finish.
Where and what warp
The pickup system is Yridia, and warp 5 covers both the start and the finish. Everything but the return trip happens in the one system.
The recommended level is 7, matching the level of Yridia. Five hostile fights are the only combat.
Propaganda Dealer rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 260 |
| Encryption Key | 1 |
The mission data does not list a follow-up mission unlocked by this one.
Other missions from Yridia
Yridia is the pickup system for a few early missions that protect or exploit its Information Market. Current game data:
| Mission | Recommended level | What it asks | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Propaganda Dealer | 7 | Defeat 5 hostiles in Yridia, return the stolen data | 260 Tritanium, 1 Encryption Key |
| Leech | 8 | Scout Yridia, defeat the database thief (about 971), bring the data hacker to Solusta | 500 Tritanium, 1 Encryption Key, 220 Officer XP |
| Plausible Cover | 8 | Mine 100 Tritanium as a distraction | 2,400 Parsteel, 1 Encryption Key, 2 Helvia shards |
All three pay an Encryption Key and all three start at warp 5, so running them together collects three keys from one area. Leech is the only one of the three with a scripted fight, a database thief at about 971 strength, and it sends you on to Solusta afterwards.
Other Takret missions
The Takret Militia turn up in several early missions. Takret Incursion, recommended for level 6, has you destroy 6 hostiles of level 6 or higher and then choose where to take the Takret captain, Torra. The Seeds of Chaos, at level 14, sets the Nausicaans and the Takret against each other for 8,000 Parsteel.
Tips
Stay in Yridia for the fighting. The objective ties the five hostiles to that system, so there is no reason to travel elsewhere.
Pick up Leech and Plausible Cover while you are there. They share the pickup system, and between the three you gain three Encryption Keys. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
