Risky Business is a two-part Star Trek Fleet Command mission chain in which your past actions catch up with you: an Orion ship comes after you, and Sloan helps you set up a counter-ambush against the Consortium and the Ferengi. Both parts are recommended for level 80 and need warp 6,000 to complete, and the chain is picked up in Rotché. It pays 4,351,000 Latinum, 10,969,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 2,363,000 7★ Raw Gas and 935,000 7★ Broken Survey Parts in total. It is a short chain with a big Latinum payout, and the final choice lets you trade two fights for a Σ-Parsteel donation.
Risky Business at a glance
| Part | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Key reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Risky Business Part 1 | 80 | 6,000 | 2,363,000 7★ Raw Gas, 72,000 Σ-Dilithium |
| Risky Business Part 2 | 80 | 6,000 | 4,351,000 Latinum, 10,969,000 7★ Raw Crystal |
Completing Part 1 opens Part 2. Neither part pays faction points, so the chain leaves your reputation alone.
Risky Business Part 1
An Orion ship confronts you over something you did in the past. You fight it off, escape, and go to Sloan in Sendisez for help.
- Confront the ship.
- Defeat the Orion ship (enemy strength ~550,056,486,237,696).
- Escape.
- Meet with Sloan (Sendisez).
Warp to complete: 6,000. Rewards: 2,363,000 7★ Raw Gas, 72,000 Σ-Dilithium, 5 1 Hour Σ-Speed Ups and 1 Gravimetric Data.
Risky Business Part 2
The plan is to outsmart the Consortium and the Ferengi. You send a drone into Bah’Ranthi, close in on their ambush and hit it first. Once the ambush is broken, you decide what to do with the Ferengi and the Orions.
- Deploy the Drone (Bah’Ranthi).
- Approach the ambush (Bah’Ranthi).
- Attack the ambush (Bah’Ranthi, enemy strength ~568,504,189,625,272).
- Choose what to do next.
Tell the Ferengi and the Orions to work together
You give them a second chance. They admit they are short of resources after the trade wars and their vendetta against you, so this path asks for a donation.
- Donate 1.2M Σ-Parsteel.
- Return to Sloan (Sendisez).
Rewards on this path: 10,969,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 935,000 7★ Broken Survey Parts, 4,351,000 Latinum and 1 Gravimetric Data.
Continue your assault
You decide the ambush crossed the line and finish both ships.
- Defeat the Ferengi Ship (Bah’Ranthi, enemy strength ~563,651,247,530,583).
- Defeat the Orion Ship (Bah’Ranthi, enemy strength ~550,056,486,237,696).
- Return to Sloan (Sendisez).
Rewards on this path: 10,969,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 935,000 7★ Broken Survey Parts, 4,351,000 Latinum and 1 Gravimetric Data.
Part 2 starts at warp 1 and needs warp 6,000 to complete on either path.
Tips for completing Risky Business
Part 1 has one fight, the Orion ship at about 550 trillion strength, and Part 2 opens with the ambush at about 569 trillion. After that, the choice decides how much more fighting you do. Continuing the assault adds two more fights, at roughly 564 and 550 trillion, all in Bah’Ranthi. Telling the two sides to work together swaps those fights for a 1.2M Σ-Parsteel donation.
Both paths pay identical rewards, so pick based on what you have spare. If your combat ship needs repairs after the ambush, the donation path gets you to the payout faster. If Σ-Parsteel is tight, the fights cost you only repair time.
Plan for warp 6,000 in both parts, and note that the chain starts in Rotché. Sloan’s base in Sendisez is where both parts end.
Are the Risky Business rewards worth it?
Yes. The 4,351,000 Latinum in Part 2 is the headline, and the chain adds 10,969,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 2,363,000 7★ Raw Gas, 935,000 7★ Broken Survey Parts, 72,000 Σ-Dilithium, five 1 Hour Σ-Speed Ups and 2 Gravimetric Data. With only two parts and no faction point losses, it is an easy chain to recommend to any level 80 commander. The Σ resources guide covers Σ-Parsteel if you plan to take the donation path, and the STFC mission guide lists more missions at this level.
