A Crime By Any Other Means is a Klingon combat mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. You join Kang and Koloth as they lead a fleet against the most vocal captain of House Antaak’s war machine. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 17 to complete, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. Everything happens in Ajilon: six hostile kills, T’Ravma at about 55,452 and the Separatist flagship at about 101,520. The reward is three Koth shards, 25,000 Dilithium and 2,000 Klingon Points.
A Crime By Any Other Means objectives
There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Go to the Separatist base in Ajilon. Location: Ajilon.
- Defeat 6 Hostiles in Ajilon. Location: Ajilon.
- Defeat T’Ravma. Location: Ajilon. Enemy strength is roughly 55,452.
- Attack the Separatist Base. Location: Ajilon.
- Defeat the Separatist flagship. Location: Ajilon. Enemy strength is roughly 101,520.
- Return to your Station.
Once you reach the Separatist base, the fighting builds up in stages. Six hostiles in Ajilon come first, then T’Ravma, then the attack on the base itself, and finally the Separatist flagship, the hardest fight of the mission. The last step sends you home.
Where and what warp
The mission is available from warp 1 and needs warp 17 to complete. Ajilon is the only system involved, so this is one trip out and one trip home.
The recommended level is listed as 1. The real test is the Separatist flagship at about 101,520, which comes after several other fights in the same system.

Other fights in Ajilon
Ajilon turns up in several missions at a similar warp. Current game data:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Ajilon fights |
|---|---|---|
| A Crime By Any Other Means | 17 | 6 hostiles, T’Ravma about 55,452, Separatist flagship about 101,520 |
| Under Wraps | 17 | Klingon hunter, about 37,726 |
| Too Successful | 18 | On one path: 10 hostiles and a Separatist Vanguard of about 75,312 |
| Mistakes Were Made | 17 | On one path: a scavenger of about 133,020 |
If you have more than one of these open, a single trip to Ajilon can move several of them along. Note that the six-hostile kill count here only counts hostiles in Ajilon itself.
Tips
Bring a combat ship with room for several fights. The damage adds up across six hostiles, T’Ravma and the flagship, and the mission only sends you home at the end.
Leave to repair if you need to. Nothing in the objectives stops you going home between steps, and the flagship is the fight you want to start at full health.
Weigh the Romulan loss. It is small at 1,600 Romulan Points, but it is there. The mission before this one is Perimeter Grid. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
