Combat Training 23: Rookie is the first of the three level 23 combat training missions in Star Trek Fleet Command. It asks you to defeat 3 hostiles of level 23 or higher. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 26,500 Dilithium and 140 Recruit Tokens, and finishing it unlocks Combat Training 23: Soldier. It is a quick Dilithium boost for three fights you would likely take anyway.
Combat Training 23: Rookie objectives
The story line is the same for every combat training mission: test your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 3 hostiles of Level 23 or higher.
No system or named target is attached. Any three hostiles at level 23 or above count, so the mission fits into normal hunting.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The warp figure does not limit where you hunt; what matters is reaching hostiles of level 23 or higher and beating them.
The recommended level is 1. The level 23 hostile requirement is the real bar.
Combat Training 23: Rookie rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 26,500 |
| Recruit Token | 140 |
Completing it unlocks Combat Training 23: Soldier.
How it compares with nearby combat training
Each combat training level comes in three tiers: Rookie asks for 3 hostiles, Soldier for a larger count, and Veteran for a single hostile captain. Current game data for the missions around this one:
| Mission | Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 22: Rookie | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 22+ | 16,750 Dilithium, 140 Recruit Tokens |
| Combat Training 22: Soldier | Defeat 10 hostiles of level 22+ | 25,000 Dilithium, 50,000 Officer XP, 300 Premium Recruit Tokens |
| Combat Training 22: Veteran | Defeat the hostile captain (about 39,484) | 42,000 Dilithium, 16 1 Hour Speed Ups, 300 Ultra Recruit Tokens, 8 Rukor shards |
| Combat Training 23: Rookie | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 23+ | 26,500 Dilithium, 140 Recruit Tokens |
| Combat Training 24: Rookie | Defeat 3 hostiles of level 24+ | 41,500 Dilithium, 160 Recruit Tokens |
The Rookie Dilithium reward climbs quickly from one level to the next: 16,750 at level 22, 26,500 at level 23 and 41,500 at level 24. The recruit token count stays flat until level 24.
Tips
Run it alongside other hostile objectives. Plenty of missions ask for hostile kills, so three level 23 kills can line up with other work you already have in your log.
Pick hostiles you can beat cleanly. Since any level 23 or higher hostile counts, there is no reason to take on something much stronger than needed. Staying close to level 23 keeps repair time down.
Move straight on to the Soldier tier. Combat Training 23: Soldier unlocks as soon as this one is done, and the series continues in the same pattern. The full series is listed on the combat training missions page.
