Sons of Vulcan is a late-game mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you work with Spock to investigate the Ah’rak Fosh. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 110 to complete. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but the bandit in Naalur is roughly 3,358,989 strength, so warp and enemy strength are the real bar. The reward is 63,000,000 Parsteel and 129,000 Officer XP, and finishing it unlocks Wrong Foot Forward.
Sons of Vulcan objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Meet with Spock. Location: Goesting.
- Bring Spock to the Romulan colony. Location: Naalur.
- Defeat the bandit. Location: Naalur. Enemy strength is roughly 3,358,989.
- Bring Spock to the destroyed station. Location: Naalur.
The mission starts in Goesting, where you pick up Spock. Everything after that happens in Naalur: you take him to the Romulan colony, fight the bandit, and finish by bringing him to the destroyed station. There is no return-to-station step, so the mission ends out in Naalur.
Where and what warp
Sons of Vulcan becomes available at warp 1 and needs warp 110 to complete. Goesting and Naalur are the only systems involved.
The recommended level is listed as 1. That figure is misleading for this mission. You need warp 110 range and a ship that can beat an enemy of about 3.36 million strength.
The mission is unlocked by completing the Operations 43 mission, which asks you to upgrade Operations to level 43.
Sons of Vulcan rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 63,000,000 |
| Officer XP | 129,000 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next one, Wrong Foot Forward.
How it fits between Operations 43 and Wrong Foot Forward
| Mission | Warp to complete | Main effort | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operations 43 | 1 | Upgrade Operations to level 43 | 80 each of 4★ Uncommon Refined Ore, Crystal and Gas |
| Sons of Vulcan | 110 | Defeat a bandit of about 3,358,989 | 63,000,000 Parsteel, 129,000 Officer XP |
| Wrong Foot Forward | 120 | 7 hostiles of level 43 or higher, a Klingon Hunter of about 912,580 and a Hunter Leader of about 2,726,322 | 350 Klingon Recruit Token, 700 4★ Common Refined Crystal |
Wrong Foot Forward pushes the warp up to 120 and has three kinds of combat, though none of its single enemies is as strong as the Naalur bandit.
Tips
Bring your strongest combat ship. The bandit is the one fight here, and at about 3.36 million strength it is well above what the recommended level implies.
Repair before you leave Goesting. The fight is the second of three steps in Naalur, and the travel from Goesting comes right before it.
The Parsteel is the headline at 63 million, and the 129,000 Officer XP can go to whichever officers you are levelling. If you plan to run Wrong Foot Forward straight after, start warp research toward 120 now, since it needs ten more warp than this mission. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
