Underground, New Ground is a level 62 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which Starfleet sends you to check on a Reman colony in Tir Morta. You pick it up in Triga-5 and need warp 1,000 to start and to finish. There are three objectives: travel to Tir Morta, defeat a Reman Mystic there, and report back. The reward is three 1 Hour Σ-Speed Ups and 104,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium, plus Federation Credits and faction points. With one fight and one system to visit, it is quick to clear.
Underground, New Ground objectives
Starfleet Intelligence has learned that Reman soldiers, acting for the Romulan Star Empire, have settled Tir Morta, and that a Reman Mystic may be recruiting Independent crews to the Romulan cause. The three objectives run in order, with no choice split:
- Travel to Tir Morta. Location: Tir Morta.
- Defeat the Reman Mystic. Location: Tir Morta (enemy strength ~2,643,533,500).
- Report back to Starfleet in Triga V. Location: Triga-5.
At Tir Morta the Mystic ignores your officer and speaks straight to your crew, inviting them to join Mother Romulus. Meanwhile the Remans hack your main computer and start altering the ship’s life support. Your officer fights the intrusion while you target the Mystic’s ship.
After the fight your officer purges the hacks and steadies the atmosphere, but you are left unconscious from the attack. The ship flies itself back to Triga V, where Admiral O’Connor hears the report, notes that the Romulans have spread across the sector with Reman forces making up a large share of their presence, and tells you to get some rest.
Where and what warp
The mission is picked up in Triga-5 and needs warp 1,000 to start and to complete. The only other system is Tir Morta, where the fight happens. The recommended level is 62.

Other level 62 Federation missions from Triga-5

| Mission | Warp | Main rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Underground, New Ground | 1,000 | 3 1 Hour Σ-Speed Up, 104,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium |
| Never Compromise, Never Blink | 1,000 | Depends on the choice: 162,000 6★ Raw Crystal and 389,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium, or 9 1 Hour Σ-Speed Up and 389,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel |

Apart from the Klingon path of Never Compromise, Never Blink, this is the only Triga-5 mission that pays speed ups.
Tips
Run it with the other Triga-5 missions. They share the pickup, warp and faction points, so doing them in one session saves repeat trips.
The Mystic’s ship is listed at about 2.64 billion strength, which is on the lighter side for level 62 mission fights. Any ship that handles the other Triga-5 missions will manage it.
Tir Morta turns up again in Shady Business, a Romulan mission that ends with a report to the Romulan leadership in the same system. There you work for the Reman Initiative rather than against it.
Keep an eye on reputation. The mission adds 114 million Federation Points but removes about 254 million Klingon Points and 57 million Romulan Points, and those numbers move your faction reputation. The 104,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium adds to your Dilithium stock, and every mission by level is on the mission guide.
