Undercover is a five-part Star Trek Fleet Command mission chain in which you trace the money behind the Orion Syndicate, uncover Starfleet’s part in it, and finally confront Commander Joss and track down Leif. Most parts are recommended for level 28, warp to complete sits between 19 and 22, and the first system you visit is Niawillen. Rewards lean on speed ups, Parsteel, Dilithium, and 3★ refined materials, with a choice at the end between Corrupted Data and extra ore. It is a steady resource chain with some very heavy fights in the last two parts.

Undercover Part 1
The chain starts with an investigation into who is funding the Orion Syndicate. After confronting a Starfleet investigator, you look into the Syndicate base in Niawillen and make a Tritanium donation before infiltrating it.
- Confront the Starfleet Investigator.
- Investigate the Orion Syndicate Base. (Niawillen)
- Donate 600,000 Tritanium.
- Infiltrate the Orion base. (Niawillen)
Warp to complete: 22. Recommended level 28.
Rewards: 77,000 Dilithium, 22 × 3 Hour Speed Up.
Each part of Undercover unlocks the next when you finish it, so the chain runs from Part 1 to Part 5 in order.
Undercover Part 2
Syndicate ships come after you. You fight them off, pull back out of Orion space through Willenia, and return home. The game lists this part at recommended level 1, but it sits at warp 22 between two level 28 parts and asks for hostiles of level 27 or higher, so treat it as a level 28 mission.
- Defeat 10 Hostiles of Level 27 or higher.
- Retreat from Orion space. (Willenia)
- Return to your Station.
Warp to complete: 22.
Rewards: 1,373,000 Parsteel, 35 × 1 Hour Speed Up.
Undercover Part 3
The investigation turns toward Starfleet’s involvement. You meet Dehk in Willenia, make a Dilithium donation, and then defeat an assassin.
- Meet with Dehk. (Willenia)
- Donate 200,000 Dilithium.
- Defeat the assassin. (Willenia, enemy strength around 104,274)
- Return to your Station.
Warp to complete: 22. Recommended level 28.
Rewards: 23 × 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal, 500 Federation Credits.
Undercover Part 4
You go to Losti to confront Joss. It turns into two back-to-back fights, first a Starfleet Guardship and then Commander Joss, both close to 300,000 strength.
- Confront Joss. (Losti)
- Defeat the Starfleet Guardship. (Losti, enemy strength around 293,839)
- Defeat Commander Joss. (Losti, enemy strength around 296,419)

Warp to complete: 19. Recommended level 28.
Rewards: 2 × 1 Day Speed Up, 4 × 8 Hour Speed Up, 6 × 5 Hour Speed Up.
Undercover Part 5
The final part is a search for Leif. A distress call in Seevor leads to a mercenary fight, then you follow Leif’s trail to Krlakh and defeat the Orion Boss there. At the end the mission asks whether to take the evidence or destroy it.
- Respond to distress call. (Seevor)
- Defeat the mercenary. (Seevor, enemy strength around 305,058)
- Track Leif’s trail. (Krlakh)
- Defeat the Orion Boss. (Krlakh, enemy strength around 293,839)

Path B: destroy the evidence
- Destroy evidence of your involvement. (Krlakh)
- Return to your Station.
Rewards: 14 × 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore.
Tips for completing Undercover
Two donations gate the chain. Part 1 asks for 600,000 Tritanium and Part 3 asks for 200,000 Dilithium, so set both aside before you start. Part 1 pays back 77,000 Dilithium, which covers part of the later cost.
The difficulty climbs steeply. Part 3’s assassin is around 104,274 strength, but Parts 4 and 5 bring four fights between about 293,839 and 305,058: the Guardship and Commander Joss in Losti, then the mercenary in Seevor and the Orion Boss in Krlakh. Those are hard targets at level 28, so use your best combat ship, crew it for battle, and repair fully between fights. Part 4’s speed ups are useful here, since they can shorten repair and upgrade timers before Part 5.
At the end, Path A is the better pick for most players. It gives 260 Corrupted Data plus 18 refined materials, while Path B gives only 14 refined ore. Take Path B only if you have no use for Corrupted Data and want the extra ore.
Warp is steady through the chain, between 19 and 22, so once your ship reaches Niawillen it can handle every system that follows. For more chains in this range, see the STFC mission guide.
Are the Undercover rewards worth it?
Yes, mainly for the speed ups and Parsteel. The chain pays 1,373,000 Parsteel, 77,000 Dilithium, 500 Federation Credits, 23 or more 3★ refined crystals, and a large pile of speed ups: 22 three-hour, 35 one-hour, two 1 day, four 8 hour, and six 5 hour. Against 600,000 Tritanium and 200,000 Dilithium in donations, that is a fair trade. The four heavy fights at the end are the real cost, so run it once your ship can handle 300,000-strength enemies.
