The Real Work is a level 57 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you finish gathering experts by securing the release of a project leader and bringing him to VESTA. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 205 to complete. You defeat Ma’ag in Muhg, a fight of about 36.7 million strength, and spend 200 million Tritanium repairing the project leader’s ship. Both paths pay 42,500,000 Dilithium and 2,500 Ship XP, plus either 800 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups or 500 Premium Recruit Tokens.
The Real Work objectives
The story line reads: finish gathering experts. The shared objectives come first:
- Find the project leader. Location: Muhg.
- How should we secure his release?
Both choices lead to the same three steps:
- Defeat Ma’ag. Location: Muhg. Enemy strength about 36,740,681.
- Repair the project leader’s ship with 200M Tritanium.
- Bring the project lead to VESTA. Location: Zytallis.
Path 1
Rewards for Path 1: 800 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups, 42,500,000 Dilithium and 2,500 Ship XP.
Path 2
Rewards for Path 2: 500 Premium Recruit Tokens, 42,500,000 Dilithium and 2,500 Ship XP.
The objectives and the fight are identical on both paths. Only one reward differs, so the choice is simply about what you want out of it.
Where and what warp
The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 205 to complete. Muhg is where the project leader is held and where Ma’ag waits, and Zytallis is where VESTA is.
The recommended level is 57. Ma’ag, at about 36.7 million strength, and the 200 million Tritanium repair are the two real costs.
The Real Work rewards
| Reward | Path 1 | Path 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Dilithium | 42,500,000 | 42,500,000 |
| Ship XP | 2,500 | 2,500 |
| 15 Minute Repair Speed Up | 800 | None |
| Premium Recruit Token | None | 500 |
Either path unlocks the next mission, A Stark Revelation.
Where it sits in the story
The mission before The Real Work is All We Need Within Us, a level 57 mission that needs warp 400 to complete and pays 500 Premium Recruit Tokens, 8,000,000 Dilithium and 2,500 Ship XP. A Stark Revelation, after it, needs warp 205 and pays 2,116,667,000 Parsteel, 60 3 Hour Speed Ups and 2,500 Ship XP.
Tips
Stock 200 million Tritanium before you start. The repair step comes right after the Ma’ag fight, and without the Tritanium you cannot move on to Zytallis.
Repair fully before Ma’ag. At about 36.7 million strength it is the one fight, and your ship needs to win it outright.
Choose by need: 800 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups are 200 hours of repair time, while 500 Premium Recruit Tokens go toward officer recruitment. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
