Sustainability is an Augment storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about a scientist who thinks she can limit the damage from Khan’s experiments. It is picked up in Kor Na Ron, needs warp 21 to start and to finish, and has a recommended level of 1. You meet Doctor De Santa in Rigel, mine Corrupted Data, beat a rogue Augment and report to Khan. The reward is a set of 3★ Rare refined materials, 1 Dark Matter and 200 Augment Points.
Sustainability objectives
There are four objectives, in order, with no choice split:
- Meet Doctor De Santa in Rigel. Location: Rigel.
- Mine 300 Corrupted Data.
- Defeat the rogue Augment. Location: Rigel. Enemy strength is roughly 133,020.
- Report to Khan in Lydan. Location: Lydan.
The mission mixes three kinds of work. It opens with a meeting in Rigel, then asks for 300 Corrupted Data mined, then a fight against a rogue Augment back in Rigel at around 133,020 strength. The final step is a report to Khan in Lydan.
Where and what warp
You accept the mission in Kor Na Ron, and warp 21 is listed both to start and to complete. The objectives take you to Rigel and then Lydan. The recommended level is 1, but the rogue Augment fight at about 133,020 strength is the real test, so plan around that rather than the level.
Sustainability rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Rare Refined Crystal | 2 |
| 3★ Rare Refined Gas | 2 |
| 3★ Rare Refined Ore | 2 |
| Dark Matter | 1 |
| Augment Points | 200 |
The mission does not unlock a follow-up part.
Tips
This mission needs two different ships, or one ship doing two jobs. Mining 300 Corrupted Data is a mining task, and the rogue Augment is a combat task. If you run a dedicated miner, send it for the Corrupted Data while your combat ship waits for the fight.
Plan the route as Kor Na Ron, then Rigel, then Lydan. The meeting and the fight are both in Rigel, so keeping your combat ship near Rigel while the Corrupted Data is being mined saves it a second trip out there before the final report.
Bring a proper combat ship for the Augment. At roughly 133,020 strength it is well beyond what a mining hull can handle, and the mission cannot reach Khan’s report until it is down.
The 3★ Rare refined materials are the reward to value most. You get two each of crystal, gas and ore, so it covers all three refined types at once, and the Dark Matter and Augment Points round out the payout.
