Strike First, Strike Hard is a Klingon faction mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you launch a pre-emptive strike on a human colony. You pick it up in Erzon’Uk at warp 120, and it needs warp 150 to complete. The game lists a recommended level of 47. You investigate the colony in Maumo, defeat 15 hostiles of level 48 or higher, then bombard it. The reward is 645,000 Klingon Points, 700 Klingon Credits and 80 4★ Uncommon Refined Crystal. It costs 1,000,000 Romulan Points and 250,000 Federation Points.
Strike First, Strike Hard objectives
There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Investigate the colony. Location: Maumo.
- Defeat 15 hostiles of Level 48 or higher.
- Bombard the colony. Location: Maumo.
The first step is travel to Maumo. The kill objective names no system, so any hostile of level 48 or higher counts toward the 15. Once the kills are done, you return to Maumo for the bombardment, and the mission completes there.
No scripted enemy with a listed strength appears. The 15 kills are the combat.
Where and what warp
The pickup system is Erzon’Uk, a Klingon system that needs warp 120. Completing the mission needs warp 150, the range needed for Maumo, a neutral system.
The recommended level is 47. The real bars are warp 150 and a ship that can beat 15 hostiles of level 48 or higher.

How it compares with similar Klingon missions
Several high-warp Klingon missions pay Klingon reputation at the cost of the other two factions. Current game data:
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Klingon Points | Romulan Points | Federation Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Hero’s Welcome | 46 | 105 | 538,000 | -890,000 | -200,000 |
| The Illusion of Peace | 46 | 120 | 538,000 | -890,000 | -200,000 |
| Strike First, Strike Hard | 47 | 150 | 645,000 | -1,000,000 | -250,000 |
| Who Knows the Way | 48 | 160 | 775,000 | -1,350,000 | -300,000 |
| Middle Grounds | 48 | 160 | 775,000 | -1,350,000 | -300,000 |
Strike First, Strike Hard sits in the middle of this ladder. Each step up in level and warp raises the Klingon gain and deepens the Romulan and Federation losses.
Tips
Count the Romulan cost before you accept. A full million Romulan Points is a very large loss if you are working on Romulan reputation, and it is the biggest number in the reward list.
Farm the 15 kills close to Maumo or close to home. Any hostile of level 48 or higher counts, so choose whichever is quicker for your ship.
Check your warp before the trip. The pickup needs warp 120, but Maumo needs warp 150, so a ship that reaches Erzon’Uk may still fall short.
