The Old Ways is a level 68 Klingon mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, picked up in Dantak-6. Utsel of a Klingon Great House asks you to stop the Followers of Molor, who plan to seize the house from its leader. The mission starts and finishes at warp 1500, includes one wave of 12 hostiles and a single boss fight, and pays 216,000 6★ Raw Crystal, three 1 Day Assignment Speed Ups and a large block of Klingon reputation. It is a short job with a hard final fight.
The Old Ways objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split. Everything except the hostile hunt happens in Dantak-6:
- Investigate claims of Molor loyalist activity. Location: Dantak-6.
- Defeat 12 hostiles of level 68 or higher.
- Return to Dantak-6. Location: Dantak-6.
- Defeat the Molor loyalist. Location: Dantak-6.
Utsel believes the Followers of Molor have infiltrated the house and want to overthrow its leader, so the first step sends you to coordinates where his scouts spotted them gathering. The 12 hostiles are the battle that follows; any hostiles of level 68 or higher count, and no system is named for them.
Once the fight is over, word arrives that the gathering was a distraction. A traitor named Gukan has declared that the house now follows Molor, and you return to Dantak-6 with Utsel to face him. The last objective is the fight against his ship, listed at an enemy strength of about 11 billion. Gukan escapes at the end, and Utsel explains that he was once a devoted follower of Kahless before turning to Molor.
Wo und welcher Warp
The Old Ways is picked up in Dantak-6. It needs warp 1500 both to start and to complete, so the travel requirement is set by the pickup system itself. Both fixed objectives sit in the same system, which keeps the route short once you are there.
The recommended level is 68, and the 12 hostiles must be level 68 or higher, so this is a mission for players already operating at the top of the level range.

Tips
Send a ship that can win a fight against an enemy of around 11 billion strength. The Molor loyalist is the only named battle, but it comes at the very end, after the hostile hunt has already worn down your hull, so repair before you jump back to Dantak-6.
For the 12 hostiles, pick targets that are level 68 or higher; lower-level hostiles will not count toward the objective.
Check your standing with the other factions before you run it. The mission adds 202 million Klingon Points but removes about 165 million Federation Points and 440 million Romulan Points, so the Romulan loss is more than twice the Klingon gain. The Fraktionsruf page explains what those points do, and the Klingonisch faction page lists what Klingon Credits can buy.
If you plan to run all three Dantak-6 missions, start here: The Old Ways sets up Gukan, who returns in Painstik in the Mud. Other end-game missions are listed on the mission guide.
