Scouring Space is a level 14 main storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command that asks you to collect 4 Energy Manifolds from missions in Deneva. It has warp 1 to start and finish and no fight of its own, because the manifolds come from other missions. The reward is 25,000 Parsteel, 75 2★ Common Refined Ore and 4,000 Officer XP, and finishing it unlocks Sentinels. It is a collection task that sends you through Deneva’s side missions.
Scouring Space objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Collect 4 Energy Manifolds.
The story line says the manifolds come from missions in Deneva, and the mission itself names no system or hostile. You finish it by completing other missions that pay an Energy Manifold as part of their reward.
Where to get the Energy Manifolds
Five missions picked up in Deneva each pay 1 Energy Manifold, so you need four of the five:
| Mission | What you do | Other rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Distant Suns | Mine 700 Dilithium | 8,000 Parsteel |
| Lurker | Defeat the Deneva Lurker (about 11,529 strength) | 3 1★ Survey Parts |
| Neural Network | Go to Rigel V, then to Deneva | 5,000 Parsteel, 30 1★ Survey Parts |
| Razor | Defeat 10 hostiles of level 15 or higher | 1 Next Gen Data shard |
| Salvage Operation | Recover a Klingon data core and deliver it to a faction | An officer shard and faction points that depend on the faction you pick |
All five are picked up in Deneva at warp 11. Distant Suns and Neural Network have no fight at all, so they are the easiest two to count toward the four.
Where and what warp
Scouring Space itself needs warp 1 and has no pickup system. The real travel is in the Deneva missions, which need warp 11 to reach (Salvage Operation goes out to warp 13 to finish). The recommended level is 14.
Scouring Space rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 25,000 |
| 2★ Common Refined Ore | 75 |
| Officer XP | 4,000 |
Completing it also unlocks Sentinels, the next main storyline mission, which asks you to build Defense Technologies.
Tips
Run the Deneva mission first. It comes right before this one in the storyline and takes you to the Deneva system, where every manifold mission starts.
Do the manifold missions you want for their own rewards. If you need the Next Gen Data shard, Razor is one of your four. If you want a shard of your chosen faction’s officer, Salvage Operation covers it. Lurker is the only single-fight option and sits at about 11,500 strength.
The 75 2★ Common Refined Ore is useful at level 14, when refined ore starts to show up in building costs. For the order of story missions see the main storyline missions, and the mission guide lists every mission by level.
