Terran Research is one branch of the Star Trek Fleet Command research tree. This page lists every research in it with what it does, the Operations level it unlocks at, the number of levels, the cost to max, the research time, and prerequisites, so you can plan your next unlock without digging through the tree in game.
Every terran research
All 12 research projects, sorted by unlock level (most projects gate on your R&D Department; some use Operations or another building). Cost to max is the full resource total across every level. Research time is the base time before your research-speed bonuses, which cut it heavily in play, so treat it as a relative gauge between projects rather than a real-world clock.
