Rescue Operation is a level 53 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you save colonists from an Orion slaver. It is picked up in New London and needs warp 255 to start and finish, with both steps in New London. You fight off the Orion Slave ship, then bring the colonists back to Catevea. The reward is 1,912,500,000 Parsteel, 100 3 Hour Speed Ups, 10 30 Minute Repair Speed Ups and three 100K Tritanium Tokens. It is a two-step mission with one hard fight.
Rescue Operation objectives
There are two objectives and no choice split:
- Fight off the Orion Slave ship. Location: New London. Enemy strength around 19,968,447.
- Bring the colonists back to Catevea. Location: New London.
The fight comes first, with no lead-up. Once the slaver is beaten, returning the colonists finishes the mission.
Where and what warp
The pickup system is New London, and warp 255 covers the mission. The recommended level is 53.
At around 20 million strength, the Orion Slave ship is the toughest listed enemy among the missions compared below.

Tips
Go in at full health. There is nothing before the fight to warm up on.
If the slaver is too strong, Ekin Rebuilding Project and Unlikeliest Minds offer the same repair speed ups and Tritanium tokens with enemies around 14 million strength.
New London also appears in the KSG story missions Lazarus Rising and Brain and Brawn; the second of those follows the pirates on to Merius. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
