Work Experience is a Federation story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you accompany the new crew of the USS Phillips on routine patrols. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but it needs warp 110 to complete. You meet the Phillips in Luoman, patrol Jera and ST-9417, defeat an Orion Slaver at roughly 5,867,534 strength and 10 hostiles of level 44 or higher. The reward is 15,345,000 Tritanium, 900 4★ Common Explorer Parts and Federation standing.
Work Experience objectives
There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Rendezvous with the USS Phillips on Meung. Location: Luoman.
- Patrol the first designated system. Location: Jera.
- Defeat the Orion Slaver. Location: Jera. Enemy strength is roughly 5,867,534.
- Patrol the next designated system. Location: ST-9417.
- Defeat 10 hostiles of Level 44 or higher.
- Return to your Station.
The patrol has two stops. Jera holds the scripted fight against the Orion Slaver, and ST-9417 leads into a hostile grind that can be done anywhere. The return home closes out the mission.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. Work Experience starts at warp 1 and needs warp 110 to complete across Luoman, Jera and ST-9417.
The recommended level is listed as 1. In practice warp 110, a 5.8 million strength enemy and level 44 hostiles put this firmly in the late game.

How it compares with the missions around it
Work Experience sits between Ceremony and The Phillips Incident in the same Starfleet storyline. Current game data:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Main fight | Headline rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceremony | 75 | None listed | 1,485,000 Dilithium, 120 Premium Recruit Tokens, 311,000 Federation Points |
| Work Experience | 110 | Orion Slaver (about 5,867,534) | 15,345,000 Tritanium, 900 4★ Common Explorer Parts, 374,000 Federation Points |
| The Phillips Incident | 95 | Klingon assailant (about 1,969,977) | 500 4★ Common Interceptor Parts, 5 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups, 374,000 Federation Points |
Work Experience is the hardest of the three. It has the highest warp and the strongest enemy, and it also pays the most Tritanium.
Tips
Bring a strong combat ship for Jera. The Orion Slaver at roughly 5,867,534 strength is about three times as strong as the fight in The Phillips Incident, so it is the step to prepare for.
Clear the hostile grind with whichever ship farms level 44 hostiles best. Those ten kills are not tied to a system.
Mind the Klingon penalty. The 374,000 Federation Points come with a loss of 592,416 Klingon Points, which matters if you are building Klingon standing. The 900 Explorer Parts are the reward to watch if you fly an explorer. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
