True Strength is a level 51 Star Trek Fleet Command mission where you help create a new material for Tarm. It starts at warp 1 but needs warp 185 to complete, and both of its located objectives are in Dela. There is no fight. Instead it asks for a research project and 10,000 5★ Ore. The reward is 36,750,000 Dilithium and 368,000 Officer XP, which makes it worth the mining time for most late-game players.
True Strength objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Find Tarm. Location: Dela.
- Research Fragile Explorers.
- Mine 10,000 5* Ore.
- Return to your Station.
- Bring the new material to Tarm. Location: Dela.
The mission opens and closes in Dela with Tarm. Between those two visits sit three station-side or mining tasks. First, the Fragile Explorers research. Then 10,000 5★ Ore to mine, which is the heaviest objective by far. After that you return to your station and then carry the new material back to Tarm.
No step in the mission names an enemy or a strength value, so this is a gathering and research mission, not a combat one.
Where and what warp
True Strength is available at warp 1 and needs warp 185 to complete. The recommended level is 51. Dela is the only named system, and you visit it twice: once at the start and once at the end.
The 10,000 5★ Ore has no system attached in the game data, and neither does the research. Only the two Tarm objectives are tied to Dela.
True Strength rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 36,750,000 |
| Officer XP | 368,000 |
Completing it also unlocks the next mission in the storyline.
What the mission costs you
True Strength has no donation, so the cost is effort rather than resources you hand over. Two objectives do the heavy lifting.
The Fragile Explorers research is the first. The game data lists it only as an objective, with no cost attached, so check your research tree before you start. If it is already done or nearly done, this step is light. If you have not started it, plan for it alongside the mining.
The 10,000 5★ Ore is the second. This is a mining objective, so a mining ship at the right tier is what moves it forward. The warp 185 requirement applies to the mission as a whole, so make sure your ship can make the Dela trips too.
Tips
Look at the Fragile Explorers research before you accept. It is the second objective, straight after finding Tarm, so knowing where you stand on it tells you how quickly the mission can move.
Bring a miner, not a warship. There is no combat anywhere in the mission, and the 10,000 5★ Ore is the biggest single task, so the ship that matters is the one that can mine 5★ Ore efficiently.
Count the Officer XP as part of the payout. At 368,000 it is a sizeable amount for a mission with no fight, and it lands at the same time as the Dilithium.
