The Defiant Part 4 is the fourth mission in the five-part Defiant chain in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 35. It opens at warp 1 but needs warp 25 to complete. The story takes the fight to the Jem’Hadar in their own territory: you collect 10 Dominion Solo Armada Edicts from Jem’Hadar Flagships, then leave Dominion space through Idran. The payout is 1,173,000 Tritanium, 190 3★ Interceptor Parts and five 8 Hour Speed Ups, and it unlocks The Defiant Part 5.
The Defiant Part 4 objectives
There are two objectives and no choice split:
- Get 10 Dominion Solo Armada Edicts by defeating Jem’Hadar Flagships.
- Travel to Idran to leave Dominion space. Location: Idran.
The first objective is where all the work is. The source does not tie it to a system; it asks for 10 Dominion Solo Armada Edicts, and those come from defeating Jem’Hadar Flagships. Expect this step to take far longer than the jump that follows, since it depends on how reliably your fleet wins those flagship fights.
The second objective is a single jump to Idran, which closes the part.
Where and what warp
The Defiant Part 4 has no pickup system in the data and starts at warp 1. Completing it takes warp 25, and Idran is the only system the objectives name. The recommended level is 35, the same as every other part of the chain.

The Defiant Part 4 compared with Parts 3 and 5
Every part of the chain is recommended for level 35, but the warp and the type of challenge change from part to part.
| Part | Warp to complete | Main challenge | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Defiant Part 3 | 40 | Escape a Dominion attack in Mril at about 902,683, then repair the Defiant with 5M Tritanium | 870,000 Dilithium, 800 Premium Recruit Token |
| The Defiant Part 4 | 25 | 10 Dominion Solo Armada Edicts from Jem’Hadar Flagships | 1,173,000 Tritanium, 190 3★ Interceptor Parts, 5 8 Hour Speed Up |
| The Defiant Part 5 | 25 | Defeat a Cardassian ship in Cita Laga at about 1,124,459, then escort the Defiant to Deep Space Nine in Bajor | 1 Swarm Prime Particle, 1,242,000 Tritanium |
Part 3 is the longest reach at warp 40 and the one with the big Tritanium bill. Part 4 drops back to warp 25 but swaps a scripted fight for a grind of flagship kills. Part 5 keeps warp 25 and returns to a single named fight, then finishes in Bajor.
Part 5 is the last part of the chain. All five parts with their full objectives are on the Defiant chain guide.
Tips
Budget time for the edicts. Part 4 has only two objectives, but the 10 edicts depend on winning Jem’Hadar Flagship fights, so it is the part to start early and chip away at.
Keep the Tritanium you earn here in mind for later parts. Part 3 costs 5M Tritanium for the Defiant repair, and Parts 4 and 5 together hand back 2,415,000 Tritanium, so the chain returns about half of what that repair costs.
Use the 8 Hour Speed Ups on repairs or upgrades that stall between flagship fights. The Interceptor Parts go toward whichever interceptor you are building.
If you want the ship itself, see the USS Defiant page. Every other mission by level is on the mission guide.
