Sacred Ground is a Romulan storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you ambush an Arkonian terraforming unit that is trying to make the dead Suliban colony of Brennis habitable again. Two Arkonian ships stand in the way, the stronger at about 296,000 strength, and the mission ends with a data drop to Kelia at Galorndon Core. It needs warp 40 to complete and lists a recommended level of 1. The payout is 586,000 Tritanium, six 8-hour speed ups and Romulan faction rewards.
Sacred Ground objectives
Four objectives across two systems, no choice split:
- Investigate the dead Suliban homeworld of Brennis. Location: Suliban.
- Destroy the Arkonian Enforcer. Location: Suliban (enemy strength about 133,290).
- Destroy the Arkonian terraformer. Location: Suliban (enemy strength about 296,419).
- Bring back data on Brennis to Kelia at Galorndon Core. Location: Galorndon Core.
You arrive at Brennis in the Suliban system, deal with the Enforcer guarding the operation, then destroy the terraformer itself. The terraformer has more than twice the Enforcer’s strength, so it is the fight that decides the mission. The last step is a delivery to Kelia at Galorndon Core with no enemy listed.
Where and what warp
There is no pickup system. Sacred Ground starts at warp 1 after A Pyrrhic Victory and needs warp 40 to finish. The route is two stops: the Suliban system for both fights, then Galorndon Core for the hand-off.
The recommended level is listed as 1. The terraformer at about 296,400 strength is the real bar for this mission.
Sacred Ground rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 586,000 |
| 8 Hour Speed Up | 6 |
| Romulan Credits | 280 |
| Romulan Points | 18,000 |
| Federation Points | -13,392 |
The Federation Points figure is negative, so it is a deduction rather than a gain.
Sacred Ground and A Pyrrhic Victory compared
| Mission | Warp to complete | Story | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Pyrrhic Victory | 24 | Work with Sovren to strike at the Andorian Imperial Guard | 500 Romulan Recruit Token, 34 15 Minute Repair Speed Up, 230 Romulan Credits, 10,000 Romulan Points, -6,960 Federation Points |
| Sacred Ground | 40 | Ambush the Arkonian terraformer at Brennis | 586,000 Tritanium, 6 8 Hour Speed Up, 280 Romulan Credits, 18,000 Romulan Points, -13,392 Federation Points |
Sacred Ground asks for a longer trip than the mission before it and pays more Romulan Credits and Points in return. It is also where the recruit tokens give way to Tritanium and speed ups.
Tips
Repair between the two Suliban fights. They are back to back in the same system, and the terraformer is the harder of the pair.
The six 8-hour speed ups add up to 48 hours. Save them for long building or research timers.
Kelia also appears in Ashen Skies, where you take Kelia and Sovren to the Suliban system to pay their respects. For more Romulan missions see the Romulan faction page, and the mission guide lists every mission by level.
