The Last Vale is a three-part mission chain in which your commander answers a call for help from Visegao and ends up protecting Ralig’s settlement in Verto Peyl from the approaching Hirogen war front. All three parts are recommended for level 40. You pick the chain up in Verto Peyl at warp 26, the first two parts finish there, and Part 3 stretches to warp 56 when you take the fight to the Hirogen. Rewards include a Seven of Nine shard, a Harry Kim shard, 110,000,000 Parsteel and three batches of 4★ ship parts. The fights are light for the level, so the main hurdle is the warp 56 trip.

Tips for completing The Last Vale
You need warp 26 just to pick the chain up in Verto Peyl, and the first two parts never leave that system. Part 3 is the outlier at warp 56, so check your range before starting it.
The named fights are small for a level 40 chain: the Hirogen ship sits around 530,000 strength and Bolarr around 430,000. The slower objectives are the hostile sweeps, 10 targets of level 35 or higher in Part 2 and 10 of level 40 or higher in Part 3.
Part 1 asks you to give Ralig materials for fortifications. No amount is listed for that step, so keep some spare resources on hand when you reach it.
Are The Last Vale rewards worth it?
For a three-part chain with easy fights, the payout is good. You get a Seven of Nine shard, a Harry Kim shard, 110,000,000 Parsteel, 7,800,000 Tritanium, 400 Ultra Recruit Tokens and 4★ Explorer, Interceptor and Battleship parts. The Ship XP line in Part 3 is only 1, so do not run it for XP. If your ship can reach warp 56, it is a quick clear. The STFC mission guide lists more chains around level 40.
