Work Pressure is a level 72 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. Cillian needs fake surveillance footage to keep Sloan from pulling him off his Forsaken investigation, and you pay the forger. You pick it up in Alvolea and need warp 1,550 to start and to complete. There is no combat. You spend 750K 7★ Raw Crystal along the way and get back 1,740,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 120,000 7★ Broken Battleship Parts and 1,800 Σ-Federation Credits.
Work Pressure objectives
Cillian will not explain over comms, so the first stop is a face-to-face meeting. Sloan is losing patience and wants a full report on everything Cillian has learned about the Forsaken. Rather than hand it over, Cillian plans to give him something harmless to watch. There is no choice split:
- Meet with Cillian on Mevaged in Alvolea.
- Attend the meeting with the data forger on Kaeixia in Igniotera.
- Pay 750K 7★ Raw Crystal for the data forger’s services.
- Return Cillian to Mevaged in Alvolea.
The forger is Linnea, an old friend of Cillian who trades services for goods instead of money. She has already made the footage: a loop of an empty sector with a time stamp that keeps updating, so it passes as a live feed. Cillian tells Sloan the sector is a Forsaken weapons route, which buys him time to keep working in the Margins.
Where and what warp
You pick the mission up in Alvolea and hand it in there too, on the planet Mevaged. The only trip out is to Kaeixia in the Igniotera system. It needs warp 1,550 to start and warp 1,550 to complete, and the recommended level is 72.

Tips
Think of the Crystal payment as an advance rather than a cost. You hand over 750,000 and receive 1,740,000 at the end, a net gain of 990,000 7★ Raw Crystal, but you do need the 750K in stock when you reach Kaeixia. The refined form is covered on the Crystal page.
Nothing on the route is hostile, so any ship with the warp range can run it. That makes it an easy mission to pair with hostile grinding on your main ship.
The reputation swing leans hard against the Klingons: an 18.8 billion loss there against a 16.1 billion Federation gain. Look at faction reputation before running a long string of Federation missions, and see the Federation page for what that standing buys. Cillian’s work with the Forsaken traces back to the Margins chain. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
