First Blood is the Star Trek Fleet Command mission where you pick a faction. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 12 to finish, taking you from Deneva to Midnight, where you side with the Federation, the Klingons or the Romulans. Each side fights a different pair of generals and pays 250 points and 25 credits with the faction you chose, at a cost in reputation with one of the others. It follows Es ist also so weit gekommen.

Wo und welcher Warp
First Blood can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 12 to complete. The work happens in two systems: Deneva for the opening steps and the Mayflower fight, then Midnight for the split and both general fights. The 10 hostiles of level 17 or higher have no system attached in the mission data.
The mission data lists a recommended level of 1. The level 17 hostile requirement and the fights at around 18,000 strength are the better guide to when you are ready.
First Blood rewards
| Side | Gain | Ressource | Reputation lost | Next mission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Föderation | 250 Federation Points, 25 Federation Credits | 6 4★ Raw Gas | 171 Klingon Points | Peace In Our Time |
| Klingonisch | 250 Klingon Points, 25 Klingon Credits | 6 Common Plutonium | 152 Romulan Points | Honor and Blood |
| Romulanisch | 250 Romulan Points, 25 Romulan Credits | 6 3★ Common Refined Gas | 114 Federation Points | To Serve the Empire |
Each side unlocks its own follow-up. All three are short report-in Missionen at warp 13: Peace In Our Time sends you to Lorillia, Honor and Blood to Krah’Hor, and To Serve the Empire to Kaikara.
Tips
Decide on your faction before you reach Midnight. The choice sets which reputation you gain, which one drops, and which follow-up mission opens, so it is worth knowing which faction you want to work toward.
Plan for the 10 level 17 hostiles. They are the one step not tied to Deneva or Midnight, and they come between reaching the object and the Mayflower fight.
The general fights are close in strength across all three paths, between roughly 17,996 and 18,405, so no side is meaningfully harder than another. Choose on rewards and faction, not difficulty. Every other mission by level is on the Missionsleitfaden.
