The First Batch is a level 76 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you deliver vaccines to the Forsaken. It is picked up in Sozuno and needs warp 4,000 to start and to complete, with the vaccines collected in Maphomia and delivered in Ta’Sol. In Ta’Sol you are offered a bribe, and you choose whether to take it. Either way there is one fight, of about 56 trillion strength, and the same reward: 2,659,000 7★ Raw Gas, 232,000 7★ Broken Interceptor Parts and 1,500 Σ-Federation Credits. The choice is about the story, not the loot.
The First Batch objectives
Two objectives come before the split:
- Pick up the vaccines. Location: Maphomia.
- Proceed to Ta’Sol. Location: Ta’Sol.
In Ta’Sol a buyer wants early access to the vaccines and offers to make it worth your while.
Accept the bribe
You agree on the basis that more vaccines are on the way and everyone will get theirs soon.
- Smuggle the vaccines. Location: Ta’Sol.
- Deliver the rest of the shipment. Location: Ta’Sol.
- Defend yourself. Location: Ta’Sol (enemy strength about 55.7 trillion).
Refuse the bribe
The buyer decides to take the vaccines by force.
- Defend yourself. Location: Ta’Sol (enemy strength about 55.7 trillion).
- Deliver the vaccines. Location: Ta’Sol.
Accepting means one extra step and puts the fight at the end. Refusing puts the fight first and is one objective shorter.
Where and what warp
The pickup system is Sozuno. Warp to start and warp to complete are both 4,000, and the recommended level is 76.
The route is Sozuno to Maphomia for the vaccines, then Ta’Sol for the rest of the mission.

Level 76 Federation missions compared

Tips
Pick either path with a clear conscience as far as rewards go. If you want the fight out of the way early, refuse the bribe.
The fight at about 56 trillion strength is light for level 76, less than half the strength of the level 77 fights. There is no donation.
The vaccine comes up again at level 77 in Rollout, where Alexis promotes the adoption of the vaccine. Reputation moves toward the Federation and away from the Klingons most of all; see faction reputation and the Federation page. The Forsaken first come into the story in the Margins chain, and the rest of the level 76 missions are on the mission guide.
