It starts at warp 1, needs warp 18 to complete, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The one fight is the hard part: Commander Ritsche in <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/hann-26-verband\/\">Hann<\/a> sits at roughly 293,839 strength.

After that the mission sends you home first and then back out to Sufiday, where Shiio&#8217;s base is.

The meeting and the fight are back to back, so there is no chance to repair after you arrive. A ship that only just reaches warp 18 may struggle with an enemy near 294,000 strength.<\/p>\n<p>Use the station stop. The mission sends you home after the fight anyway, so repair there before the trip to Sufiday. The last step is travel only, but a damaged ship is still a slower one to get back into rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Spend the Tritanium with the next mission in mind.
