Khan Noonien Singh is Star Trek’s genetically engineered Augment tyrant from Space Seed and The Wrath of Khan, and in Star Trek Fleet Command he is an Epic Command officer built for hitting enemy stations. This guide covers his canon story first and then his STFC abilities, promotion costs, traits and crews.<\/p>\n
Khan in STFC is an Epic Befehl<\/a> officer with one specialist job and one supporting job. The specialist job is station offense. As captain, his Ruthless Mastermind ability can wipe most of the opposing station and platforms’ mitigation for two rounds, opening a window where damage stops getting soaked.<\/p>\n The supporting job is sitting on the bridge of a high-damage attacker. His officer ability, Savage Tenacity, stacks critical hit chance every time the ship gets hit, which suits fights that drag past a few rounds.<\/p>\n He belongs to the Augment faction and the Khans Mannschaft<\/a> synergy group. His named synergy partners include Joachim, Marla McGivers, Otto, Kati<\/a>, Navi, and Pan, all at 25% synergy with him.<\/p>\n Khan Noonien Singh first appeared in the 1967 TOS episode Space Seed, played by Ricardo Montalban, then returned in 1982’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. He is a 20th-century Augment, a genetically engineered superhuman who, during the Eugenics Wars, controlled large parts of Earth before being driven off the planet in 1996. He and his followers slept through almost three centuries aboard the SS Botany Bay before the USS Enterprise<\/a> found them.<\/p>\n Spock once called Khan the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. The Kelvin-timeline film Star Trek Into Darkness used the same character under the alias John Harrison, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, and the 2025 audio drama Star Trek: Khan re-cast the role with Naveen Andrews.<\/p>\n The lore card in STFC leans on the Kelvin-timeline version. The in-game flavor text describes Admiral Marcus reviving Khan from cryo, wiping his memories, and using him as a covert asset. Khan eventually broke free, killed Marcus, and turned on the Federation.<\/p>\n In Space Seed, the Enterprise finds the SS Botany Bay adrift in 2267 and revives Khan, who tries to seize the ship. Kirk<\/a> defeats him and, instead of sending him to prison, exiles Khan and his followers to Ceti Alpha V. Lieutenant Marla McGivers, the Enterprise historian who fell for him, chooses to go with him.<\/p>\n The Wrath of Khan picks up fifteen years later. A neighboring planet, Ceti Alpha VI, had exploded, and the blast turned Ceti Alpha V into a wasteland where McGivers and many of Khan’s people died. When the USS Reliant stumbles on the survivors, Khan takes the ship, goes after Kirk, and tries to seize the Genesis Device<\/a>. He dies setting it off in the Mutara Nebula, and Spock gives his life to get the Enterprise clear. STFC’s Vengeance of Khan<\/a> mission chain retells that fight.<\/p>\n The Noonien-Singh name also carries into Strange New Worlds through La’an Noonien-Singh, a descendant of Khan who serves on Pike’s Enterprise. She has her own STFC officer card, SNW La’an Noonien-Singh<\/a>.<\/p>\n Khan is an Epic, Command-class officer in the Augment faction and the Khan’s Crew synergy group. The card has two distinct jobs, and most players use him for the first one before discovering the second.<\/p>\n The first job is station offense. With Khan in the captain seat, attacking an enemy station gives him a 50% chance to drastically reduce the opposing station and its defense platforms’ mitigation for two rounds. Mitigation absorbs a chunk of incoming damage at the top of every base hit, so stripping it lets the rest of your crew do their normal damage without the usual soak.<\/p>\n The second job is bridge officer on an attacking ship. His ability stacks crit chance every round his ship gets hit, which suits long fights where you want each volley to land harder than the last.<\/p>\n He is not a hostile-killer specialist or an economy officer. Outside of station hits and crit-building, there are usually stronger picks for the job.<\/p>\n When you attack a station with Khan as captain, his ability rolls a 50% chance at the start of combat to drastically reduce the mitigation of the opponent’s station and all of its defense platforms for two rounds. The roll happens once per attack, so plan around getting either the strip or no strip.<\/p>\n Ruthless Mastermind does not show a clean per-rank value past rank 1, so there is no reliable figure for how much each promotion adds. The rank-1 strip is already big, and any specific rank-5 percentage you see floating around isn’t trustworthy. Play the ability for whether the 50% roll lands, not for a target damage number.<\/p>\n Every time Khan’s ship takes a hit from a ship or defense platform, Khan adds to the ship’s crit hit chance. The bonus stacks across rounds. Weapons that fire multiple shots only trigger the bonus once per attack.<\/p>\n The per-rank stack, current as of the latest data:<\/p>\n<\/span>Star Trek background<\/span><\/h2>\n
