What Do We Do Now? is a level 55 Klingon Science Group (KSG) mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, set right after K’ulass loses his Kos’Karii Engine. It starts and finishes at warp 1 with no system to visit: you collect five KSG Datapads and then donate them. The reward is 182,250,000 Tritanium, a set of 5★ Common Interceptor Parts and Klingon reputation, and it unlocks Redundancy. For a mission with no travel and no fights, that Tritanium payout is large.
What Do We Do Now? objectives
K’ulass opens the mission shaken. He spent fifteen years on the engine, and now that it is gone he needs time to talk to his superiors about the fallback plans the KSG keeps in reserve. In the meantime he suggests his colleagues could use your help, and the mission summary asks you to assist the KSG by completing missions in KSG space.
- Collect 5 KSG Datapads.
- Donate 5 KSG Datapads.
When you hand the datapads over, K’ulass asks for any logs you took while he was away, since they will help him sell a plan he admits is unorthodox and possibly dangerous. His colleagues want to give up, and he agrees that chasing the engine’s scattered pieces would waste resources. His answer is that the two of you will build a new Kos’Karii Engine yourselves. There is no choice split.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed, and the mission needs warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete. Neither objective has a location, so the only real task is gathering the datapads. The recommended level is 55.
The mission before it is Black Market Blues, a level 53 KSG mission that needs warp 255 to complete, in which you visit three parts merchants while searching for the engine’s parts.

KSG datapad missions compared
Three KSG missions are built around collecting and donating KSG Datapads, and all three start and finish at warp 1.
| Mission | Recommended level | Datapads | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Let Me In | 51 | 5 | 1 5★ Common Interceptor Parts, 33,750,000 Dilithium, 800 Klingon Credits, 1,150,000 Klingon Points, -2,111,400 Romulan Points |
| Gathering Data | 52 | 3 | 900 3 Hour Speed Up, 33,750,000 Dilithium, 800 Klingon Credits, 1,200,000 Klingon Points, -2,246,400 Romulan Points |
| What Do We Do Now? | 55 | 5 | 1 5★ Common Interceptor Parts, 182,250,000 Tritanium, 800 Klingon Credits, 2,500,000 Klingon Points, -4,950,000 Romulan Points |
This one pays Tritanium where the other two pay Dilithium, and its Klingon gain is roughly twice theirs.
Tips
Datapads come from other KSG missions. Twenty-one missions pay one KSG Datapad each as a reward, Friends In Low Places I among them on either path, so running KSG missions alongside this one is the way to fill the count.
Watch your Romulan standing. The mission adds 2,500,000 Klingon Points but costs 4,950,000 Romulan Points, so the loss is nearly twice the gain. For more, see faction reputation.
The Tritanium is the reason to finish it quickly. At 182,250,000 it is well above the next KSG story steps, which pay 24,300,000 (On the Verge) and 72,900,000 (Ethical Concerns). Other missions at this level are listed on the mission guide.
