The Target is a story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in the search for Dalen. A rumor points to Dalen’s location, and following it to Alta leads you into a fight with a Klingon ship of about 204,300 strength. The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 18 to complete. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but that Klingon ship is the real test. The reward is 210 3★ Interceptor Parts, and finishing it unlocks What We Become.
The Target objectives
Three objectives with no choice split:
- Investigate the signal. Location: Alta.
- Defeat Klingon ship. Location: Alta. Enemy strength is roughly 204,300.
- Return to your Station.
You fly to Alta to check the signal, a Klingon ship turns up, and after beating it you go home. The Klingon ship is the only fight in the mission.
Where and what warp
The mission appears at warp 1 and needs warp 18 to complete. Alta is the only named system.
The recommended level is listed as 1. A combat ship that can win against a 204,300 strength Klingon ship is the practical requirement.
The Target rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Interceptor Parts | 210 |
Completing it unlocks the next mission in the Dalen story, What We Become.
The Dalen missions
Dalen’s story runs through several missions. Current game data for The Target and two others that feature Dalen:
| Mission | Warp to complete | What you do | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Target | 18 | Follow the rumor to Alta and beat a Klingon ship (about 204,300) | 210 3★ Interceptor Parts |
| What We Become | 22 | Find Dalen’s signal in Panak, approach his ship and bring him to your station | 2 One of Eleven shards |
| The Fate of the Broken | 18 | Go to Shiio’s base in Sufiday and decide whether to let Dalen die or unassimilate him | 2 One of Eleven shards on either path |
The Target is the only one of the three with a fight on every route, and the only one paying ship parts. The other two pay One of Eleven shards, and What We Become has no fight at all.
How the Klingon ship compares
The same 204,300 strength shows up in other missions of this stage. The Borg ship in Vulnerable and Admiral Hoss in To Forgive is Divine are both about 204,300, as is the Klingon ship in Fuel to the Fire. If your ship has handled any of those, it is ready for this one.
The Target and The Fate of the Broken share a warp 18 finish, while What We Become needs warp 22.
Tips
Plan for the next step. What We Become needs warp 22, four more than this mission, so check your range before moving on.
Arrive at full hull. The Klingon ship is the only thing between you and the reward, and there is no step to repair before it.
Put the Interceptor parts to use. 210 3★ Interceptor Parts is a big batch for one fight, and they go furthest on the interceptor you are tiering up.
The mission before this one is Ignorance. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
