Questioning the Benevolent is a level 63 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which a Klingon attack on an Azinjen research facility pulls you into the argument over who owns this space. It is picked up in Stateside and needs warp 1,100 to start and to complete. You fight two Klingon ships of about 3.5 billion strength, donate 20M Parsteel for repairs and carry the chief researcher to Eranias. The reward is 173,000 6★ Raw Crystal, 497,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel and a large Federation reputation gain.
Questioning the Benevolent objectives
There are four objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Battle the Klingon Cruiser. Location: Stateside. Enemy strength about 3,534,007,028.
- Give Pa’vizo 20M Parsteel.
- Battle the Klingon Scout. Location: Stateside. Enemy strength about 3,391,917,710.
- Take Pa’vizo to Eronia. Location: Eranias.
Chief Researcher Pa’vizo reports that her facility, with only minimal defences, is under Klingon attack. The Klingon commander rejects the Azinjen as outworlders and insists the High Council claims everything it sees. Maia points out that the Federation claimed this territory, unexplored until the Azinjen came. While the Klingons are wounded, Pa’vizo asks for 20M Parsteel to patch up the facility, and then a second Klingon ship arrives.
The Klingons back off with a warning that the Empire will return. Pa’vizo asks for passage to Eronia to report to the Segment Assembly, and admits she may recommend abandoning the Azinjen plans in the Beta Quadrant. Maia replies that this is exactly what the Klingons want.
Where and what warp
The mission is picked up in Stateside, where both fights happen, and ends in Eranias. Warp to start and to complete is 1,100. The recommended level is 63. The objective calls the destination Eronia; its listed location is Eranias.

Tips
Keep 20M Parsteel on hand; the donation sits between the two fights, and the second Klingon ship does not appear until it is paid. Both Klingon ships are moderate for level 63.
For the resource return this is the best of the Azinjen group. The reputation is the usual trade: Federation Points up 125 million, Klingon Points down 283.5 million. The faction reputation page explains the tiers, and more missions are on the mission guide.
