Missions

**Missions**, also known as **episodes** and **conflicts**, are a key part of Star Trek Timelines, allowing players to progress in the storyline. Conflicts begin with players selecting their crew. Different crew are better suited for different tasks. Each character is proficient in at least one skill: Diplomacy, Science, Security, Command, Engineering and Medicine. Skills can be improved by levelling up, and fusing characters with extra copies of themselves. Crew also have inherent abilities called traits. For example, Commander Worf has the Warrior trait.

Once they have been selected, the away team is sent to resolve the conflict. In each conflict, the player is faced with choices, taking them down a different path and leading to different challenges, similar to a choose your own adventure book . Players may continue with the conflict even if they fail some challenges. However, they will fail the conflict if they fail to complete the last challenge. To determine if they win a challenge or not, characters compete against that challenge's difficulty. This is where their skills and traits are used. For example, a stage may require 22 Security. There can be different mission outcomes, for example if an away team utilising mostly combat oriented crew is used there may be a combat based resolution, which will be different to a diplomatic resolution, and this will affect the narrative .

By completing conflicts, players can gain crew experience, credits, equipment, knowledge and many other items. Completing conflicts is a key way to improve crew in Star Trek Timelines.

## Current Missions

The tables below shows chronitons cost and requirement level.

They also lists credits, character and captain XP gain per mission, presuming you did not fail any part if it.

### Episode 1 - The Art of War

Completing Factions: Klingon Empire vs. Augments

### Episode 2 - Never Forgive, Never Forget

Competing Factions: Cardassian vs Maquis vs Bajoran

* Bug note: Certain nodes require the successful completion of the previous node to unlock. If you fail this node, the next node will incorrectly say "Requires Cardassian reputation" inferring you could unlock it by increasing your faction reputation. This is incorrect, it only unlocks by successful completion of the preceding node.
* Bug note 2: Mission 19 (Bajoran and Cardassian options) has a broken node as it requires a Maqui with diplomacy. While there are a couple maqui, none have diplomacy, thus no such crew currently exists. Therefore elite/epic can not be unlocked on this mission until it is fixed.

### Episode 4 - Hostile Takeover

Notes:

* 1: Certain nodes require the successful completion of the previous node to unlock. If you fail this node, the next node will incorrectly say "Requires Cardassian reputation" inferring you could unlock it by increasing your faction reputation. This is incorrect, it only unlocks by successful completion of the preceding node.
* 2: The cost for "Trial by Fire" (Epic) seems to be bugged as the preceding 5 missions all cost 20, as do the following 2 missions and in every other case, cost slowly increases incrementally, never decreases.
* 3: The node map does not match the nodes. For example, according to the map, the second step requires either MED, CMD, or DIP, but the actual nodes are MED, MED, and CMD.

### Episode 6 - Something Rotten

Competing Factions:

* Note the remarks about required traits are whats required to get 3 stars and thus unlock the next difficulty. None are actually required to simply complete the mission to move on.
