What is the Federation Faction and how does it work?
The Federation Faction is one of the three main factions in Star Trek Fleet Command. It represents diplomacy, defense, and unity among the core worlds of the Alpha Quadrant. Advancing within the Federation requires careful reputation management, as your standing with other factions—such as the Klingons and Romulans—will be affected by your actions.
How do I earn Federation Reputation?
You can gain positive Federation reputation by completing Federation missions, defeating opposing faction hostiles, and participating in faction-specific events. Regularly defeating faction traders is also an efficient way to build reputation, as they grant large amounts of points for their level. Completing faction daily missions provides a consistent source of reputation and Federation Credits.
How can I lose Federation Reputation?
Your reputation will decrease if you attack or harm the Federation or its allies within Federation space. Reputation balance is crucial—helping one faction often reduces reputation with another, so it’s important to plan your progress strategically.
What is available in the Federation Faction Store?
As you increase your Federation reputation, you unlock access to new rewards and blueprints in the Federation Faction Store, purchasable with Federation Credits. These include:
Ship Blueprints
Recruit Tokens
Raw Resources
Commendations (only required for specific missions—purchase them only when the mission is active)
What type of ships does the Federation specialize in?
Federation ships emphasize survivability and defense, making them ideal for players who prefer a defensive or endurance-based playstyle. They typically have strong shields and hulls, allowing them to outlast opponents in prolonged engagements.
What are Faction Locks, and why are they important?
At certain milestones—such as 10 million and 1 billion reputation—players reach faction locks. Once a lock is achieved, your reputation with that faction cannot fall below that threshold, even if you later focus on other factions. This makes faction locks essential for players who plan to balance multiple alliances.

Can I join multiple factions?
Yes, you can progress with multiple factions, but you’ll need to balance your actions carefully. Gaining a reputation with one faction will often lower it with another. Many players focus on one or two factions at a time, working toward their faction locks before shifting attention elsewhere.
Important note: Commendations should only be purchased when a mission requiring them is on your Active Mission List.
