Those Who Came Before is a level 54 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: research 5★ Interceptor Evasive Maneuvers to prepare Maia’s database for Progenitor data. It needs only warp 1 to start and to complete, and there is no fight or travel. The reward is 5 1B Parsteel Tokens, 7,500,000 Dilithium and 2,500 Ship XP, and it unlocks the next mission, Onwards and Upwards. The research itself is the only gate.
Those Who Came Before objectives
The story line reads: prepare Maia’s database for the Progenitor data. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Research 5★ Interceptor Evasive Maneuvers.
No system is named, no hostile is listed and nothing is donated. The mission completes when that research is done at your station.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The whole mission happens at your station.
The recommended level is 54. Whether you can finish depends on having 5★ Interceptor Evasive Maneuvers available to research, and the time and resources it takes.
Those Who Came Before rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1B Parsteel Token | 5 |
| Dilithium | 7,500,000 |
| Ship XP | 2,500 |
The five Parsteel tokens are worth 5,000,000,000 Parsteel. Completing the mission also unlocks Onwards and Upwards.
Where it sits in the story
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ours By Might | 54 | 205 | 1 Data shard, 8,100,000 Tritanium |
| Those Who Came Before | 54 | 1 | 5 1B Parsteel Tokens, 7,500,000 Dilithium, 2,500 Ship XP |
| Onwards and Upwards | 55 | 1 | 300 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups, 101,250,000 Tritanium |
Ours By Might, before this one, takes you out to warp 205. Those Who Came Before and Onwards and Upwards are both warp 1 station missions, so this stretch of the story slows down to research and upgrades.
Tips
Check the research tree before the mission comes up. If 5★ Interceptor Evasive Maneuvers is already underway or done, the mission can clear quickly. The research guide covers how the research trees are laid out.
The 5 billion Parsteel from the tokens is a large sum even at level 54, so plan to spend it on your next big building upgrade. The story line ties this step to Maia and her database, which the Progenitor data will go into.
Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
