Combat Training 25: Soldier is the middle step of the level 25 combat training set in Star Trek Fleet Command. You defeat 10 hostiles of level 25 or higher, anywhere you like. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 96,000 Dilithium, 85,000 Officer XP and 375 Premium Recruit Tokens, and completing it unlocks the Veteran step. It is the grind step of the set, with the most kills and a solid all-round payout.
Combat Training 25: Soldier objectives
There is one objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 10 Hostiles of Level 25 or higher.
The series description applies here too: test your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. No system is named, and the objective itself says hostiles above level 25 also count, so any level 25 or higher target works. There is no named boss.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, no pickup system. The mission does not send you anywhere. The listed recommended level of 1 does not reflect the job; you need a ship that can beat level 25 hostiles ten times over.
Combat Training 25: Soldier rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dilithium | 96,000 |
| Officer XP | 85,000 |
| Premium Recruit Tokens | 375 |
Completing the mission also unlocks the next step, Combat Training 25: Veteran.
The level 25 set
| Step | Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Rookie | 3 hostiles of level 25+ | 64,000 Dilithium, 160 Recruit Tokens |
| Soldier | 10 hostiles of level 25+ | 96,000 Dilithium, 85,000 Officer XP, 375 Premium Recruit Tokens |
| Veteran | Hostile captain, about 74,100 | 160,000 Dilithium, 8 3 Hour Speed Ups, 450 Ultra Recruit Tokens, 12 Komal shards |
The Soldier step is the only one of the three that pays Officer XP, and its Premium Recruit Tokens sit between the Rookie’s basic tokens and the Veteran’s Ultra tokens. Clearing all three at level 25 adds up to 320,000 Dilithium.
How the Soldier steps grow
| Mission | Kills | Dilithium | Officer XP | Premium Recruit Tokens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combat Training 20: Soldier | 10 at level 20+ | 10,250 | 32,000 | 250 |
| Combat Training 22: Soldier | 10 at level 22+ | 25,000 | 50,000 | 300 |
| Combat Training 25: Soldier | 10 at level 25+ | 96,000 | 85,000 | 375 |
| Combat Training 26: Soldier | 10 at level 26+ | 150,000 | 100,000 | 400 |
The kill count stays at 10 through this range while the Dilithium climbs fast. Level 25 pays nearly ten times the Dilithium of level 20, and level 26 adds more than half again on top.
Tips
Farm the kills close to home. Any hostile of level 25 or higher counts, so pick the nearest system with enough targets rather than chasing a specific one.
Leave some hull for the Veteran step. Its captain at about 74,100 strength is the one fixed fight in the set, and it pays twelve Komal shards.
