Show Us Your Mettle is a five-part mission chain about an exclusive Klingon society and the tournament it runs. You learn about the society, gather intel on the tournament, prove your strength, sign up and then fight for your reward. Every part is recommended for level 20, starts at warp 1 and finishes at warp 13 or 18, with the action spread across Klingon systems such as Antonehk, BeK and Woxoxit. The headline reward is an SNW Sam Kirk shard on one of the Part 4 paths, plus 143,000 Officer XP on that same path. It is a compact early chain with small fights, and the one real hurdle is building the War Room in Part 5.

Tips for completing Show Us Your Mettle
The fights are all close in strength, between about 39,500 and 40,600, so a ship that handles Unuk in Part 2 can clear the rest. Part 1’s 10-hostile grind at level 20 or higher is the longest combat step.
Part 5 opens with a build objective, so start the War Room early if you have not built it yet. The mission cannot move on to Baryn until it is done.
Keep 150,000 Parsteel for the broker in Part 2 and 4,000 Dilithium for the membership fee in Part 4. The fee is the same on both paths.
For the Part 4 passphrase, the choice comes down to rewards. Path 1 (tlhIngan maH taHjaj!) pays the SNW Sam Kirk shard and 143,000 Officer XP, while Path 2 (Hab SoSlI’ Quch!) pays Tritanium, Dilithium and 22 repair speed ups. The fight is the same strength either way.
Are the Show Us Your Mettle rewards worth it?
For a level 20 player, mostly for Part 4. The Sam Kirk shard and 143,000 Officer XP on the first passphrase are the standout rewards; the rest of the chain pays small amounts of Tritanium, Dilithium, 2★ resources and speed ups. With warp capped at 18 and fights around 40,000 strength, it is a quick run once the War Room is in place. For other early missions, see the STFC mission guide.
