Utsel asks you to guard the Kot&#8217;baval celebrations on <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/kronos-60-klingonisch\/\">Kronos<\/a> from the Followers of Molor, led by the traitor Gukan. It needs warp 1500 to start and to complete, includes three ship fights in a row, and pays 252,000 6\u2605 Raw Crystal, 210 8 Hour Speed Ups and Klingon reputation. The speed ups make it one of the better Klingon missions at this level.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Painstik_in_the_Mud_objectives\"><\/span>Painstik in the Mud objectives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are five objectives and no choice split.

Location: Kronos.<\/li>\n<li>Apprehend Gukan. Location: Kronos.<\/li>\n<li>Join the Kot&#8217;baval celebrations on Kronos. Location: Kronos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kot&#8217;baval is the festival that marks the victory of Kahless over the tyrant Molor, and Utsel believes Gukan timed his attempt on the house to spoil it. You patrol Kronos with Utsel&#8217;s fleet until a group of Klingon ships drops out of warp. Gukan refuses to turn back, and the fights begin.<\/p>\n<p>The first loyalist is listed at about 11.3 billion strength and the second at about 11 billion. The second ship tries to flank you right after the first goes down. Gukan&#8217;s own vessel, at about 11.3 billion, is the third fight. Utsel asks you to beam Gukan aboard rather than destroy him, and the mission ends with Gukan in your brig and a return to the celebrations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_and_what_warp\"><\/span>Wo und welcher Warp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The mission is picked up in Dantak-6, but every objective is at Kronos.
