Tera Lara is a level 24 Augment star system in Star Trek Fleet Command, and you need warp 7 to reach it. There is no entry cost. It is where Khan’s Dark Matter side missions begin: Mind Over Matter and Beneath the Heel both start here and each pays 1 Dark Matter sample, the mission resource Khan needs for his experiments. Tera Lara also has a Corrupted Data node for the Augment Store and Vaaran Marauders and Suliban Bounty Hunters from level 21 to 27.
Tera Lara has some of the highest concentrations of dark matter ever recorded in a single star system. While dark matter makes up 85% of all space, it is rare to find a sample with greater density than a single proton mass for every three cubic meters. In Tera Lara, samples of Dark Matter have had a density rating almost triple that, which may contribute to the alarming frequency of subspace tears in the region.

Dark Matter samples in Star Trek Fleet Command
Dark Matter is a mission resource: you earn it one sample at a time from Augment side missions, then hand samples to Khan in the main Augment story. Nine side missions pay 1 Dark Matter each, whichever choice you make where the mission splits.
| Mission | Pick up in | Warp to complete | Dark Matter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mind Over Matter | Tera Lara | 13 | 1 |
| Beneath the Heel | Tera Lara | 17 | 1 |
| On the Grapevine | Raddan, Lydan | 17 | 1 |
| Outsourcing | Raddan, Lydan | 17 | 1 |
| A Calculated Risk | Terazon-X31 | 21 | 1 |
| The Other Side | Terazon-X31 | 21 | 1 |
| A Reliable Source | Kor Na Ron | 21 | 1 |
| Sustainability | Kor Na Ron | 21 | 1 |
| Crossing A Line | Paradane | 21 | 1 |
Three parts of the main Augments chain spend or collect those samples. Augments Part 13: Volatile Combinations asks you to collect 3 Dark Matter samples from missions in the Vaara Expanse. Augments Part 14: The Die is Thrown has you give 3 Dark Matter samples to Khan. Augments Part 17: Recuperation asks for 3 new samples from missions in the Kor Na Ran and Paradane systems. Bank samples from the side missions as you go and you will not be stuck waiting on one when the chain asks. The Augment missions hub lists the whole chain.

Hostiles in Tera Lara
Both hostiles here are Explorers and both drop Tritanium, so an Interceptor is the natural counter at this level.
| Hostile | Levels | Hull | Strength | Tritanium per kill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vaaran Marauder | 21 to 27 | Explorer | 23,149 to 74,100 | 176 to 332 |

Corrupted Data in Tera Lara
| Resource | Nodes | Base rate per hour | Node size |

Is Tera Lara worth the trip?
Yes, early in the Augment story. At warp 7 it is one of the easiest Augment systems to reach, and its two Dark Matter missions are the quickest way to start banking the samples the main chain asks for. The Tritanium hostiles and the Corrupted Data node are a bonus while you are there.
