Take Arms against an Empire of Troubles V is the level 55 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command that closes the Immortal fight against the Tal Shiar. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 285 to complete. You spring a trap on the Romulan fleet in van Vlerken, secure Adrisilver, then regroup in Necrocormeum. There is one fight and no choice split. The reward is 35,000 Officer XP plus Romulan Credits and Romulan Points, the smallest payout of the five missions, but it wraps up the story.
Take Arms against an Empire of Troubles V objectives
After the strike on Magnus, the Romulans have fallen back to van Vlerken. Danclus plans a final push: Maltor, Xarkon and Lyrial lead Immortal fleets to chase every remaining Empire ship toward van Vlerken, where you wait with the EMP device to finish them.
- Set a trap in Van Vlerken. Location: van Vlerken.
- Defeat the Romulan fleet. Location: van Vlerken. Enemy strength is roughly 25,144,247.
- Secure Immortal space once and for all. Location: Adrisilver.
- Regroup with the representative. Location: Necrocormeum.
Once the fleet is gone, Immortal ships set up a barricade at the border. Danclus admits the Immortals have lost the element of surprise, but he says the win will help their revolution grow inside the Empire. He then keeps his promise and gives you the coordinates of the Progenitor lab in the Kalalisko system.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed and the mission starts at warp 1. You need warp 285 to complete it, the same as the second mission in the run. The recommended level is 55.

Tips
The Romulan fleet in van Vlerken is listed at about 25.1 million strength, a little below Subcommander Narul in the previous mission. If you beat Narul, this fight should not stop you.
After the fight, the last two objectives are travel only. Neither Adrisilver nor Necrocormeum has a fight listed.
Apart from Romulan Credits and faction points, the Officer XP is the only reward here, so run it when you want to finish the story more than when you need materials. Your standing with the Romulan faction still rises by 2,500,000 points. For more on standing, see faction reputation. More missions at this level are on the mission guide.
