The Parent of Fear is a Borg storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you investigate reports of an explosion on a Romulan station. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 18 to complete, taking you from Sufiday to a hacking expert in Kaus Australis and after a thief in Amador. The reward is 90 3★ Interceptor Parts and 13 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups. It is a short investigation with one fight, and the Interceptor parts are the main draw.
The Parent of Fear objectives
There are four objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Investigate reports of an explosion. Location: Sufiday.
- Meet with the hacking expert. Location: Kaus Australis.
- Defeat the thief. Location: Amador. Enemy strength is about 204,300.
- Return to the decrypter. Location: Kaus Australis.
The explosion in Sufiday sets things off. Next comes a meeting with the hacking expert in Kaus Australis, then a thief in Amador, and after beating the thief you head back to the decrypter in Kaus Australis.

Tips
Bring a combat ship with some margin over 204,300 strength for the thief. The rest of the mission is travel.
Keep the 13 repair speed ups for Legacies. Its two fights come one after the other and are both stronger than the thief.
