Become Death is a Romulan faction mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you help the scientist Teban test a new weapon. You follow him to the test site in Esto, pay 1.25M Dilithium to power the weapon, assist the test and bring Teban back to his lab in Ballion. It starts at warp 1 after The Border of All Knowledge and needs warp 120 to complete. The reward is 170 4★ Uncommon Refined Ore and Romulan standing, and it unlocks Twenty Questions.
Become Death objectives
The story line is to help Teban test a new weapon. There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Follow Teban to the test site. Location: Esto.
- Donate 1.25M Dilithium to power the weapon.
- Assist Teban. Location: Esto.
- Return Teban to his lab. Location: Ballion.
No hostile is listed at any step. The donation has no location, so you can make it as soon as you reach it.
Where and what warp
There is no pickup system. Become Death appears at warp 1 once The Border of All Knowledge is done and needs warp 120 to reach Esto and Ballion.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. The two real requirements are warp 120 and the 1.25M Dilithium.

Tips
Keep 1.25M Dilithium on hand before you set out. It is the only cost, and it comes straight after the first travel step.
Any ship with warp 120 can finish this; no combat is involved.
Twenty Questions, the next mission, has two fights at around 8.4 million strength, so start preparing a combat ship while you run this one. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
