STA4 Guides: Getting Started with the Federation Faction — Midgame (STA4)

Relax with 35 minutes of Trek-themed ambient music while the Federation presses through the mid-game phase of its Cardassian campaign. A second attack at the outpost opens the episode, followed by the defense of Tsinghai, the destruction of a Cardassian Battleship, and continued investment across the colonized systems. Captain Janeway leads a renewed defense of Tsinghai as the First Fleet pushes to Dionysius and Harman, defeating the Maquis at Ana'siuol and capturing Cardassian disaster beacons along the way. A two-pronged offensive divides at Arken before the fleet regroups to fight off a Cardassian assault on Tsinghai. The chase continues to Safidon, where the CDS Vraxil Kern falls and the mass negation core and the Tear of the Prophets are recovered from the wreckage. A newly built Sovereign-class capital carries the negation core into the Battle of Safidon. After taking out the Cardassians' heavy capital, the fleet retreats to regroup.
