Darkness Descends is a Klingon mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. A badly disguised Starfleet vessel has made a swift guerrilla attack on Jiwu’puH and fled, and you are sent after it. Picked up in Ganalda at warp 50, the mission has you find the imposter, disable it at roughly 1.69 million strength, and follow it on to Onyxis in the Afritalis system. The reward is 888,000 Dilithium plus Klingon Credits and Points. The whole mission needs warp 50.
Darkness Descends objectives
Three objectives, no choice split:
- Find the imposter in Jiwu’puH. Location: Jiwu’puH.
- Disable the unknown ship. Location: Jiwu’puH. Enemy strength is roughly 1,692,935.
- Follow the fleeing imposter to Onyxis. Location: Afritalis.
You catch up with the imposter in Jiwu’puH, the site of the attack, and the objective is to disable the ship rather than destroy it. It still gets away, and the last step is to follow it to Onyxis in Afritalis. Reaching Onyxis completes the mission. There is no return-to-station step and no donation.
Where and what warp
Darkness Descends is picked up in Ganalda, and both starting and completing it need warp 50. The game lists a recommended level of 1. The unknown ship at about 1.69 million strength is the only fight and the real test of readiness.

Other missions picked up in Ganalda
Ganalda offers three Klingon missions at the same warp. Current game data:
| Mission | Warp | What you do | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darkness Descends | 50 to start, 50 to complete | Disable the imposter in Jiwu’puH (about 1.69M) | 888,000 Dilithium, Klingon Credits and reputation |
| Glory in Death | 50 to start, 50 to complete | Confront the Romulans over the Jiwu’puH attack, destroy the Romulan Guards (about 2.42M) | 17,500,000 Parsteel, 18 3 Hour Speed Ups, Klingon Credits and reputation |
| Border Lands | 50 to start, 53 to complete | Patrol the Neutral Zone and report to the General on Ty’Gokor | 500 Klingon Recruit Tokens, Klingon Credits and reputation |
Darkness Descends and Glory in Death tell two sides of the same event. Here you chase the disguised ship from the Jiwu’puH attack; in Glory in Death you confront the Romulans for their part in it. Glory in Death has the harder fight and pays Parsteel, while Darkness Descends pays Dilithium.
Tips
Bring a ship that can win at about 1.7 million strength. The disable step is the only combat, so one good fight is all this mission asks.
Pick up the other Ganalda missions at the same time. All three start in Ganalda at warp 50, and Glory in Death continues the Jiwu’puH story.
Watch the reputation lines. You gain 100,000 Klingon Points but lose 134,400 Romulan and 60,480 Federation Points, so this suits players already leaning Klingon. No Mercy is another Klingon mission at warp 50 with a similar reputation swing.
More missions by level are on the mission guide.
