Combat Training 31: Rookie is a combat training mission in Star Trek Fleet Command that asks you to defeat three level 31 hostiles. It needs only warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 720,000 Dilithium plus six shards each of Azetbur, Vemet and Leonard McCoy, and completing it unlocks the next combat training step. For three kills, that officer shard bundle makes it one of the better Rookie steps to clear.

Combat Training 31: Rookie objectives

There is one objective and no choice split:

  • Defeat 3 Level 31 hostiles.

The mission text describes the whole series: test your skills in battle against escalating difficulties of hostile enemies. No system is named, so any level 31 hostile you can reach counts. There is no scripted boss and no donation.

Where and what warp

Warp 1 to start, warp 1 to complete, no pickup system. The mission itself does not send you anywhere. The real requirement is a ship that can reach and beat level 31 hostiles, so the listed recommended level of 1 is not a useful guide here.

Combat Training 31: Rookie rewards

Reward Amount
Dilithium 720,000
Azetbur shards 6
Vemet shards 6
Leonard McCoy shards 6

Completing the mission also unlocks the next step, Combat Training 31: Soldier.

How it compares with other Rookie steps

Between levels 31 and 34 the Rookie steps pay officer shards in sets of three. Current game data:

Mission Kills Dilithium Officer shards
Combat Training 31: Rookie 3 at level 31 720,000 6 each of Azetbur, Vemet, Leonard McCoy
Combat Training 32: Rookie 3 at level 32 1,050,000 6 each of Kerla, Livis, Nyota Uhura
Combat Training 33: Rookie 3 at level 33 1,500,000 6 each of Kumak, Chang, Spock
Combat Training 34: Rookie 3 at level 34 2,400,000 8 each of Azetbur, Vemet, Leonard McCoy

The same trio returns at level 34 with eight shards each, so level 31 is the first of two Rookie steps that feed these three officers. The Dilithium more than triples between the two.

Rookie, Soldier and Veteran at level 31

Each combat training level has several steps. The Soldier step at this level asks for 10 level 31 hostiles and pays 1,100,000 Dilithium, 525 Premium Recruit Tokens, 175,000 Officer XP and eight Klaa shards. The Rookie step is the quick one, three kills for a smaller Dilithium payout but three officers’ worth of shards.

Tips

Hostiles of a higher level also count toward this objective, so you do not need to hunt for exactly level 31 targets if something stronger is closer.

Clear the Rookie and Soldier steps in one session. Both want level 31 kills, so you can stay on the same hunting ground for three kills here and then ten more for the Soldier step.
