The Sharpest Knife is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission with a single order: kill Vorun Celok. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 75 to complete. You hunt Vorun down in Corvidae, defeat him and report back to Lieutenant Lotem in Delmas. The reward is 330 4★ Gemeinsame Battleship Parts, 4 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups, 600 Romulan Credits and 260,000 Romulan Points, with a loss of 262,080 Federation Points. It is a short mission built around one hard fight.
The Sharpest Knife objectives
There are three objectives in a fixed order and no choice split:
- Hunt down Vorun Celok. Location: Corvidae.
- Defeat Vorun. Location: Corvidae. Enemy strength is about 1,969,977.
- Report back to Lieutenant Lotem. Location: Delmas.
Everything leads to the fight with Vorun in Corvidae. Once he is beaten, you fly to Delmas to report to Lieutenant Lotem, the same officer you report to at the end of Sold.
Wo und welcher Warp
You can accept The Sharpest Knife at warp 1, but it needs warp 75 to finish. Corvidae and Delmas are the two systems.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. That tells you nothing about the mission itself: Vorun is about 1.97 million strength and the trip reaches warp 75, and those are the numbers to plan around.
The Sharpest Knife rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| 4★ Common Battleship Parts | 330 |
| 3 Hour Repair Speed Up | 4 |
| Romulan Credits | 600 |
| Romulan Points | 260,000 |
| Federation Points | -262,080 |
The negative Federation Points figure is a loss on completion.
How you get here
The Sharpest Knife follows Verkauft, which is the mission unlocked by the first path of Der Vorschlag. All three share the same faction changes:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Fights | Other rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Der Vorschlag | 70 | Corvallen Officer in Delmas (about 1,950,820), plus Lieutenant Lotem (about 1,969,977) on the second path | 160 4★ Ungewöhnlich Explorer Parts, or 900 Ultra Recruit Tokens |
| Verkauft | 70 | 20 hostiles of level 41 or higher, then the Corvallen Rebel in New Berlin (about 1,969,977) | 7,560,000 Tritanium, 700 4★ Common Interceptor Parts |
| The Sharpest Knife | 75 | Vorun in Corvidae (about 1,969,977) | 330 4★ Common Battleship Parts, 4 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups |
Each of the three pays 600 Romulan Credits and 260,000 Romulan Points and takes away 262,080 Federation Points. The Sharpest Knife has the highest warp of the set, but no hostile count, so it is quicker to clear than Sold.
Tips
Bring your strongest combat ship with a margin over 1.97 million strength. Vorun is the only fight, so go in fully repaired.
Check the warp. Corvidae and Delmas are both within the warp 75 range, which is a step up from the warp 70 of the two Missionen before.
The four 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups are handy right after the Vorun fight if it leaves your ship badly damaged.
If you are building Federation standing, note the 262,080 point loss here and in each of the missions around it. Other missions are on the mission guide.
