We Are Smart is a level 13 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you hunt down three Pakleds behind the espionage against the Rigellians. It needs only warp 1 to start and to complete, and each objective is a named fight: Kalnogog the Taker in Bellas, Tefthanon the Breaker in Nelve and Odinor the Maker in Rigel, all under 4,000 strength. The reward is 10,000 Parsteel, 75 2★ Common Refined Gas and 3,000 Officer XP, and it unlocks the next mission, Farsight.
We Are Smart objectives
The story line reads: find the Pakleds responsible for the espionage against the Rigellians. There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Defeat Kalnogog the Taker in Bellas. Location: Bellas. Enemy strength about 3,725.
- Defeat Tefthanon the Breaker in Nelve. Location: Nelve. Enemy strength about 3,877.
- Defeat Odinor the Maker in Rigel. Location: Rigel. Enemy strength about 3,760.
The mission is three fights in three systems. The strengths are close together, with Tefthanon the Breaker the toughest by a small margin.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete. Bellas, Nelve and Rigel are all within that range.
The recommended level is 13. At that level the three Pakleds, each under 4,000 strength, are manageable for an upgraded early ship.
We Are Smart rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 10,000 |
| 2★ Common Refined Gas | 75 |
| Officer XP | 3,000 |
Completing the mission also unlocks Farsight.
Where it sits in the story
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hush | 13 | 10 | 7,500 Parsteel, 100 2★ Common Refined Crystal |
| We Are Smart | 13 | 1 | 10,000 Parsteel, 75 2★ Common Refined Gas, 3,000 Officer XP |
| Farsight | 14 | 1 | 40,000 Parsteel |
Hush pays refined crystal and We Are Smart pays refined gas, so running both covers two of the 2★ materials. Farsight, one level higher, is a larger Parsteel payout.
Tips
Repair between fights if you need to. The three Pakleds are separate objectives in separate systems, so there is time to fix your ship on the way.
Take them in the order given. The objectives unlock one after another, starting in Bellas and ending in Rigel.
The Pakleds’ names give away their roles: a Taker, a Breaker and a Maker. The story line ties all three to the spying on the Rigellians, and Rigel is where the last of them waits.
The 3,000 Officer XP is small, so spend it on an officer you are still levelling rather than spreading it thin. Other missions around this level are on the mission guide.
