Combat Training 1: Soldier is one of the first Combat Training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. It asks you to defeat three hostiles of level 1 or higher, anywhere in space. It starts and finishes at warp 1 and the game lists a recommended level of 1, so any new captain can do it straight away. The reward is 3 Dilithium and 50 Officer XP. It is tiny, but it moves you along a mission line whose rewards grow into the millions.
Combat Training 1: Soldier objectives
The story line, shared by every Combat Training mission, reads: Test your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 3 hostiles of level 1 or higher.
No system is named. Any hostile at level 1 or above counts, so the nearest targets to your station are fine.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, and no pickup system. The mission never sends you anywhere specific, and level 1 hostiles are within reach of a starting ship.
The recommended level is 1, which matches the objective here: three low-level kills.
Combat Training 1: Soldier rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 3 |
| Officer XP | 50 |
Completing it unlocks the next Combat Training mission, Combat Training 1: Veteran.
How the early Combat Training missions compare
Combat Training comes in Rookie, Soldier and Veteran steps for each hostile level. The first few levels pay very little, but the officer shards start early:
| Mission | Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 1: Soldier | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 1 or higher | 3 Dilithium, 50 Officer XP |
| Combat Training 1: Veteran | Defeat level 1 hostiles | 8 Dilithium, 2 1 Minute Speed Up |
| Combat Training 2: Rookie | Defeat a hostile of level 2 or higher | 2 Dilithium |
| Combat Training 2: Veteran | Defeat 5 level 2 or higher hostiles | 12 Dilithium, 4 1 Minute Speed Up |
| Combat Training 3: Soldier | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 3 or higher | 12 Dilithium, 200 Officer XP, 1 Next Gen Troi shard |
| Combat Training 4: Soldier | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 4 or higher | 19 Dilithium, 350 Officer XP, 1 Next Gen La Forge shard |
| Combat Training 5: Soldier | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 5 or higher | 35 Dilithium, 600 Officer XP, 1 Next Gen Riker shard |
The Soldier steps keep the same three-kill objective through level 5 while the Officer XP climbs from 50 to 600. From level 3 each Soldier mission also adds an officer shard.
The line keeps scaling far beyond this. By Combat Training 20: Soldier the reward is 10,250 Dilithium and 32,000 Officer XP, and the later levels pay millions of Dilithium.
Tips
Do it while you are hunting anyway. Three level 1 kills near your station are all it takes, and there is nothing else to prepare.
Keep the Combat Training line moving. Each step unlocks the next, and the officer shards from level 3 onward are the first real payoff.
Previous mission: Surveillance. Next mission: Combat Training 1: Veteran. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
