The Sixth Host is a five-part Star Trek Fleet Command mission chain set around Deep Space Nine. You join the USS Defiant in the Gamma Quadrant, investigate the Jem’Hadar’s supplier for Captain Sisko, escort Jadzia to Trill and finally rejoin Joran and Dax to save Sisko. Every part is recommended for level 34, and the chain opens at Rakan. Warp to complete climbs from 29 to 47. Rewards include Pon and Weyoun shards, nearly 29M Parsteel, 3★ raw resources and three 1 Day Speed Ups. The last two parts need warp 47 and a 750,000 Dilithium donation, which makes it a demanding chain for level 34.

Tips for completing The Sixth Host
Warp is the biggest hurdle. Parts 1 to 3 need warp 27 to 35, but Parts 4 and 5 both need warp 47 for the trips to Trill and Ekimuk. If your level 34 ship cannot reach warp 47, you will be stuck at Part 4 until it can.
Deep Space Nine in Bajor is the hub of the chain. Parts 1, 2, 3 and 5 all pass through it, while the side trips go to Rakan in the Gamma Quadrant, Andrita, McAllister C-5 and Chin’Toka for the Takret chase, Azati for Sisko’s ship, and Trill and Ekimuk at the end.
Save Dilithium early. Part 4 asks for 750,000 Dilithium for the Symbiosis Institute, the only donation in the chain and a large one at this level. Part 4 does pay back over 20M Parsteel.
Parts 1 and 3 each need 12 hostiles of level 34 or higher, which you can clear on any hostiles in range. The named fights all fall between about 415,000 and 432,000 enemy strength. Part 5 stacks three of them back to back at Ekimuk, and Part 2 has two, so repair before those runs. The Repair Speed Ups from Part 1 and the 1 Day Speed Ups from Part 2 help here.
Gambit is another level 34 Deep Space Nine chain with Sisko and Weyoun shards, and the full list is on the mission guide.
Are The Sixth Host rewards worth it?
Yes, if you can reach warp 47 and spare 750,000 Dilithium. The chain pays Pon and Weyoun shards, 28,923,000 Parsteel, 1,547,000 Tritanium, 240 × 3★ Battleship Parts and 21,000 units of 3★ raw Gas, Ore and Crystal, plus three 1 Day Speed Ups. That is a strong haul for five parts. If warp 47 is still out of reach, clear Parts 1 to 3 now and come back for the rest.
