The Night Run is a two-part mission chain in Klingon space where you take a bounty job: escort Yanawa Qidaj, a notorious Klingon criminal, to her trial before the Klingon Supreme Court on Kana. Qidaj has plenty of enemies who want her dead first, and she has no intention of arriving quietly. Both parts are recommended for level 65 and reach warp 1,250, with the chain picked up in LuchenmoH. Rewards include 7,400 Klingon Credits, 62,000 Concentrated Latinum, 490,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium, 330 8 Hour Speed Up and 10 Mukull Time-piece. It is a short chain with four light fights and one hostile grind.

The Night Run Part 1
Yanawa Qidaj, a female Klingon wanted to face trial by the Empire, is to be escorted to the court for a bounty. A rival bounty hunter attacks almost at once, and Qidaj uses the fight to beam off your ship to a waiting getaway vessel.
- Collect Yanawa Qidaj from her holding cell in LuchenmoH.
- Defeat the rival bounty hunter in LuchenmoH (enemy strength ~4,194,200,695).
- Pursue Qidaj to Wq’al.
- Pay the Snitch for Qidaj’s location.
- Return to LuchenmoH.
Warp to complete: 1,250.
Rewards: 10 Mukull Time-piece, 330 8 Hour Speed Up, 3,700 Klingon Credits, 152,000,000 Klingon Points, and reputation losses of 118,560,000 Federation Points and 316,160,000 Romulan Points.
The Night Run Part 2
Stop Qidaj getting herself killed before she’s taken into court custody. You beam her back aboard, but her old enemy Fa’Hee the Cruel is waiting, another Klingon ship follows, and a signal from Qidaj floods the system with hostiles.
- Recapture Qidaj in LuchenmoH.
- Defeat Fa’Hee the Cruel in LuchenmoH (enemy strength ~4,516,578,656).
- Defeat the Klingon vessel in LuchenmoH (enemy strength ~2,113,383,600).
- Defeat 10 hostiles of level 64 or higher.
- Deliver Qidaj to the court on Kana, in H’Naah.
Warp to complete: 1,250.
Rewards: 490,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium, 62,000 Concentrated Latinum, 3,700 Klingon Credits, 152,000,000 Klingon Points, and reputation losses of 118,560,000 Federation Points and 316,160,000 Romulan Points.
Tips for completing The Night Run
The Snitch in Wq’al asks for 100,000 Dilithium for Qidaj’s location, so have that ready before you start Part 1.
None of the scripted fights is heavy for level 65. The strongest is Fa’Hee the Cruel at about 4.5 billion strength, and the Klingon vessel right after him is listed at about 2.1 billion. The slow step is the Part 2 request to defeat 10 hostiles of level 64 or higher, which you can clear wherever suitable hostiles are closest before delivering Qidaj to H’Naah.
Both parts add Klingon Points and remove Federation and Romulan points. In raw numbers the Romulan loss is about twice the Klingon gain, so check the faction reputation page if Romulan standing matters to you.
Are The Night Run rewards worth it?
Yes, especially for the speed-ups and Latinum. Two parts pay 330 8 Hour Speed Up, 62,000 Concentrated Latinum, 490,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium, 7,400 Klingon Credits and 10 Mukull Time-piece. The costs are 100,000 Dilithium and a short hostile grind. For other level 65 missions, see the STFC mission guide.
