The Compass is a single Delta Quadrant story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 45. Captain Janeway has heard about a navigation device called the Compass, said to point the way to almost any place in space, and asks you to stand guard in orbit while her team searches for it. You pick it up in Veringan, need warp 65 to start and warp 120 to complete, and earn a Seven of Nine shard, 26.1 million Tritanium and 80 Premium Recruit Tokens. Two pirate fights stand between you and the payout.
The Compass objectives
There are six objectives, all but the last in one system, and no choice split:
- Travel to the Stambo system. Location: Stambo.
- Travel to the planet Mobast. Location: Stambo.
- Defeat Pirate Vessel. Location: Stambo.
- Defeat second Pirate Vessel. Location: Stambo.
- Fetch Janeway from the planet’s surface. Location: Stambo.
- Return to the station.
Mobast is the only planet in Stambo with a non-corrosive atmosphere, so Janeway takes a search party down while you watch the suspicious ships hanging around the system. A pirate vessel closes in, taking your ship for an easy target, and a partner ship follows once the first is gone. The search turns up nothing, the pirates’ weapons have knocked out the transporters, and you go down to collect Janeway’s party in person before heading home with messages from Voyager’s crew.
Where and what warp
You pick the mission up in Veringan, which needs warp 65. Completing it needs warp 120, the range for Stambo and the trip back. The recommended level is 45.
Five of the six objectives happen in Stambo, so once you arrive you can clear the fights and the surface pickup in one visit. The mission does not list an enemy strength for either pirate vessel.

Objectives at a glance
| Step | What you do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Reach Stambo, then the planet Mobast | Stambo |
| 3 to 4 | Defeat two pirate vessels | Stambo |
| 5 | Fetch Janeway from the surface | Stambo |
| 6 | Return to the station | Your station |
Tips
Arrive in Stambo ready to fight twice. The two pirate vessels come one after the other, and the second shows up right after the first is defeated, so a ship that is already damaged from the trip may need a repair between them.
Plan for the round trip. The pickup is in Veringan at warp 65, but the mission runs out to warp 120 and then asks you to go home, so this is a longer outing than the start suggests.
The Tritanium is the headline resource. At 26.1 million it is a large amount for a level 45 mission, and the Seven of Nine shard makes it worth running if you are collecting her. Janeway has her own page at Kathryn Janeway, and every other mission is on the mission guide.
