The Pledge is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission where your orders are to keep an eye on the Romulan. Along the way you hijack a Starfleet ship, beat a Klingon scout and look for mercenaries to hire. The mission is picked up in Talvath, needs warp 75 to start and warp 80 to complete, and ends with 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher. The reward is 1,000 4★ Common Interceptor Parts and 1,000 4★ Common Battleship Parts, plus 600 Romulan Credits and 260,000 Romulan Points, with a loss of 262,080 Federation Points.
The Pledge objectives
There are six objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Find a Starfleet scout ship. Location: Kildare.
- Hijack the Starfleet ship. Location: Kildare. Enemy strength is about 1,969,977.
- Find a Klingon scout ship. Location: Klopp.
- Defeat the Klingon scout ship. Location: Klopp. Enemy strength is about 902,683.
- Find mercenaries to hire. Location: Beta Niobe.
- Defeat 10 Hostiles of Level 42 or higher.
The mission moves through three systems. In Kildare you find and hijack a Starfleet scout, which is the hardest fight. In Klopp a Klingon scout is the target, at less than half that strength. Beta Niobe is where you look for mercenaries, and the mission closes with a hostile count that has no system set.
Where and what warp
The Pledge is offered in Talvath and needs warp 75 just to start, rising to warp 80 to complete. Kildare, Klopp and Beta Niobe are the three systems in the objectives.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. With a warp 75 start, a fight near 2 million strength and 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher, that number is no guide to the real requirement.
The Pledge rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 4★ Common Interceptor Parts | 1,000 |
| 4★ Common Battleship Parts | 1,000 |
| Romulan Credits | 600 |
| Romulan Points | 260,000 |
| Federation Points | -262,080 |
The negative Federation Points figure is a loss on completion. Finishing The Pledge unlocks The Turn.
The Pledge and the missions after it
| Mission | Warp to complete | Combat | Rewards besides faction changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Pledge | 80 (75 to start) | Starfleet ship (about 1,969,977), Klingon scout (about 902,683), 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher | 1,000 4★ Common Interceptor Parts, 1,000 4★ Common Battleship Parts |
| The Turn | 70 | Klingon guard in B’Oh (about 1,950,820) | 6,615,000 Tritanium, 600 4★ Common Explorer Parts |
| The Prestige | 80 | Klingon ship and Starfleet ship in Ash-tor (about 1,969,977 each), 15 hostiles of level 42 or higher | 160 4★ Uncommon Interceptor Parts, 160 4★ Uncommon Battleship Parts |
All three pay 600 Romulan Credits and 260,000 Romulan Points and remove 262,080 Federation Points. The Pledge pays the largest pile of ship parts, 2,000 in total, while The Prestige pays fewer parts of a higher rarity.
Tips
Check your warp before you go to Talvath. The mission needs warp 75 just to start, so there is no short first leg.
Treat the Starfleet ship in Kildare as the main fight. At about 1.97 million strength it is more than twice the Klingon scout.
The 10 hostiles of level 42 or higher can be cleared anywhere. The Prestige, two missions later, asks for 15 more at the same level, so a good hunting spot pays off twice.
Other missions are on the mission guide.
