USS Franklin-A Part 6 is a station-upgrade mission in Star Trek Fleet Command’s Franklin-A chain, recommended for level 44. It has one objective, upgrading Operations to level 45, and needs only warp 1 to start and finish, so no ship ever leaves home. The reward is a single Franklin Warp Containment Mk. II, and finishing it unlocks the next part of the chain. The mission is a checkpoint: it pays out when your station reaches the target level.
USS Franklin-A Part 6 objectives
The story line reads “Upgrade your Station to unlock updates for the Franklin-A,” and the objective list is exactly that:
- Upgrade Operations to Level 45.
There is no choice split, no combat and no travel. The whole mission is tied to your Operations building. Once Operations reaches level 45, the objective clears and the reward is ready to claim.
This means the mission can sit open in your log for a long time. If your Operations is at 44 when you pick it up, the mission is waiting on one upgrade. If it is lower, you have several upgrades to go before it completes, and nothing you do with your ships speeds it up.
Where and what warp
Warp is 1 to start and 1 to complete. No system is listed for this part, because the only objective is a building upgrade at your own station. You do not need a ship with any particular warp range, and you do not need to send one anywhere.
The recommended level is 44. That lines up with the objective itself, which asks for Operations 45.
USS Franklin-A Part 6 rewards
The only reward is 1 Franklin Warp Containment Mk. II. Its name ties it to the U.S.S. Franklin-A, and the story line says this chain exists to unlock updates for that ship. Completing Part 6 also unlocks the next part of the chain.
USS Franklin-A Part 5 and Part 6 compared
Parts 5 and 6 follow the same pattern, one Operations level apart. Each asks for a single station upgrade and pays a single Franklin component.
| Part | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USS Franklin-A Part 5 | 43 | 1 | Upgrade Operations to Level 44 | 1 Franklin Warp Injector Mk. II |
| USS Franklin-A Part 6 | 44 | 1 | Upgrade Operations to Level 45 | 1 Franklin Warp Containment Mk. II |
Because each part checks a higher Operations level, the two can clear close together if you upgrade Operations twice in a short span. Part 5 has to be finished first, since Part 6 only opens once Part 5 is complete.

Tips
Treat this part as a reminder rather than a task. Your Operations upgrade is what completes it, so plan the resources and build queue for Operations 45 and the mission follows.
Claim the reward once the objective clears. Part 6 is what unlocks the next part, so finishing it keeps the Franklin-A chain moving.
If you are working on the Franklin-A, keep the earlier parts in view as well. The chain starts at USS Franklin-A Part 1 and runs to USS Franklin-A Part 11. The previous mission is USS Franklin-A Part 5. Every other mission, sorted by level, is on the mission guide.
