STFC players have to complete various main missions to unlock Dark Space, however, you have to be at least level 38 to access the missions.
Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) is a thrilling mobile game that follows the Kelvin chronology of the popular Star Trek franchise.
To advance in the game, you have to complete space-based missions, expand your station, recruit officers and vanquish hostiles.
Dark Space Mission
As you explore the galaxy, you will encounter an array of space systems, one of which is Deep Space – also referred to as Dark Space. Dark Space is the G4+ areas of Klingon, Romulan, Independent and Federation space.
Commanders should remember that Deep Space is under Fog of War, which means that they need to have a ship or base inside the system to be able to view it.
Although you can discover Dark Space, you may not be able to enter the area if your Operations are below level 38.
To get access to Dark Space, you have to complete a series of main missions, which are framed with a Golden Border.
Keep in mind that you will not be able to access these missions if you are not level 38. We therefore recommend that if you are below level 38, you focus on the main missions which are available to you.

Players must complete the following missions to get access to Dark Space:
- Buying Silence
- Distant Memories
- Folding
- Decipher
- Warzones
- Syndicated Science
- Perpetual Motion
- One of Us
- Home Worlds
- City Middle
- Ancestral Answer
- Invaluable Asset
- Power Up
- The Primeval
To access these quests, you simply have to play through the main missions, though it may take some time before you reach level 38.
One STFC player revealed that he has been playing for 2 years and he is only at level 35. That being said, some players choose to grind the main missions to unlock content faster, but this is not recommended.
