"Rescue Caitian Hostage from Ferasa" is the final stage of Caitian Diaspora, and is notable for its considerable rewards. Not only does it offer a Purple-quality duty officer upon completion, but its Espionage commendation point awards are considerable, even for a simple success. However, it is inadvisable to attempt with only White or Green duty officers. Placing Blue or Purple duty officers, with critical success traits, on this assignment will easily net 16,000 Espionage points or more. Thus, this assignment is one of the very most profitable in the entire game.
Summary[]
Your Security Chief has received credible evidence that the Ferasans are holding hostages from the raid on the research station. Starfleet agrees that the situation justifies a rescue attempt.
- Completing this assignment will open up repeatable assignments for duty officers.
Outcome[]
(Disaster): Your crew tripped an alarm and the Ferasans started shooting hostages. They were able to rescue a handful of survivors, but the Caitian scientist was among those lost.
(Failure): Two of the hostages were injured during the rescue, but both are expected to live. The Ferasans escaped in a shuttle headed for Klingon space.
(Success): Your crew was able to rescue all of the hostages without incident, but the Ferasans escaped. Intelligence indicates that the Ferasans retreated into Klingon territory.
(Critical Success): Your crew was able to rescue all of the hostages without incident as well as capture several Ferasans. The mission was a complete success!
Reward:
Duty Officer and Espionage experience were rewarded even on a failure. No Dilithium, Energy Credits, Skill Points or Bridge Officer Skill Points were rewarded however.
