The easiest starting spots are the level 35 trio of Kraatu, Orai-12, and Velata. The level 41 version is the exception: it moves out to deeper systems that need warp 120, so plan a longer trip for the top of the range.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Ebene<\/th>\n<th>Warp<\/th>\n<th>Systeme<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>35<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>Kraatu, Orai-12, Velata<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>Evans, Kraatu, Orai-12, Sentaros, Tauro-34, Velata<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>39<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>Evans, Sentaros, Tauro-34<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>41<\/td>\n<td>120<\/td>\n<td><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/antrexi\/\"   title=\"Antrexi (40) &#8211; Neutral Star System\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4195\">Antrexi<\/a>, Finlayson, Iradrias, Schouten-Adavi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rewards_and_what_it_drops\"><\/span>Rewards and what it drops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Annihilator drops Mycelium Spore, a material resource used in refining and higher-tier production.
