The Amalgam is a Grade 3 Rare survey ship from the Independent faction, and it unlocks at Shipyard level 31. It is built to raid: its Combat Scavenger ability skims extra cargo off targets after a win, and a Cloaking refit lets it slip through hostile space unseen. If you want a mid-grade hull that turns station and supply-ship raids into resource hauls, the Amalgam earns its slot.
How to get the Amalgam
The Amalgam needs 100 blueprints, and you build it once your Shipyard reaches level 31. The build costs 15,500,000 Tritanium and 90,000 Dilithium, and it takes 21 days 12 hours to finish. The ship also has its own dedicated refinery for processing Amalgam Parts, which becomes available around the same shipyard level.
Amalgam ability
The Amalgam’s passive is Combat Scavenger, and like every ship ability it is always active. After the Amalgam wins a battle, if the target is holding more resources than the ship has free cargo space, the Amalgam fills its hold and then takes an additional slice of whatever is left over. It only triggers when the ship has empty cargo space before it attacks. The bonus is a small fraction of a percent, and it grows as the ship gains levels. The practical takeaway: raid with an empty hold so the ability has room to work and can grab that extra cut.
Amalgam active ability
The Amalgam also has a player-triggered ability, Ship Cloaking, that runs on a cooldown separate from the always-on Combat Scavenger. When you activate it the ship goes invisible. The cloak drops when its duration runs out, when you enter combat, when you start mining, or when you dock at a station. You unlock it through the ship’s Cloaking refit. Use it to cross contested space or set up a raid without broadcasting your position on the map.
Stats and tiers
These are base values from the current game data. Research, buffs, and officers raise them in play. The Health column is the shield and hull average the game displays.
| Tier | Warp (speed / range) | Impulse | Cargo (protected) | Shield HP | Hull HP | Health (displayed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.3 / 40 | 70 | 525,000 (10,000) | 9,600 | 16,612 | 13,106 |
| 5 | 4.5 / 70 | 90 | 875,000 (18,000) | 32,400 | 16,612 | 24,506 |
| 9 | 5.3 / 140 | 110 | 1,500,000 (33,000) | 96,242 | 16,612 | 56,427 |
Cargo is where this hull stands out. By tier 9 it carries 1,500,000 total with 33,000 protected, which suits a ship whose whole job is hauling away what it takes.
Weapons and firing pattern
Warm-up is the round a weapon first fires; cool-down is the number of rounds between shots after that. At max tier the Amalgam mounts a single energy weapon.
| Weapon | Type | Shots | Warm-up | Cool-down | Damage | Crit chance | Crit damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Energy | 1 | 1 | 1 | 18,421–22,510 | 10% | 150% |
One weapon that fires every round keeps the Amalgam’s damage steady rather than spiky, which fits a ship you send after softer resource targets rather than into heavyweight brawls.
Crew slots and officer bonus
The Amalgam opens its first officer slot at ship level 5 and reaches a full seven-officer bridge at level 45.
| Ship level | Officer slots |
|---|---|
| 5 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 20 | 3 |
| 30 | 4 |
| 35 | 5 |
| 40 | 6 |
| 45 | 7 |
The hull also boosts your officers’ stats as it progresses. Its attack, defense, and health bonuses all use the same ladder, so the figure below applies to all three.
| Officer stat amount | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 200 | 30% |
| 400 | 60% |
| 650 | 90% |
| 900 | 120% |
| 1,200 | 150% |
| 1,600 | 180% |
| 2,200 | 210% |
| 3,000 | 240% |
| 4,000 | 270% |
| 6,000 | 300% |
Amalgam refits
The Amalgam has one refit worth planning for.
| Refit | What it does |
|---|---|
| Amalgam Cloaking | Unlocks the ship’s cloak. It costs 80 shards to enable. Once active, cloaking also carries a 66% base chance to hide your name and alliance data from enemy Battle Reports. |
Crew for the Amalgam
Crew this ship for its job, which is raiding and hauling. A bridge that protects cargo and adds survivability keeps more of what Combat Scavenger grabs, and mining or cargo-focused officers pair naturally with a survey hull. Because it is a resource raider rather than a front-line warship, you want officers that help you win the fight quickly and then get away with the loot, not ones that stack raw weapon damage for long slugfests. Specific picks shift with the meta and with what you have leveled, so check the Officer Tier List for current recommendations.

The Amalgam in Star Trek
The Amalgam is a game-original design rather than a ship from a Star Trek series or film, so its story comes from the game itself. In-universe it was first forged by the Pakleds, a species that appears in Star Trek: The Next Generation and is known for cobbling together technology it scavenges from others. The hull fuses Klingon, Federation, and Romulan components with salvage from across the quadrant, which is why it looks like nothing else in the game. Independent engineers later reworked the design into a purpose-built raider aimed at hitting stations and supply lines.

Is the Amalgam worth it?
For a Grade 3 Rare ship that unlocks at Shipyard level 31, the Amalgam does one thing well and leans into it. Its large cargo hold, cloak, and cargo-stealing ability make it a genuine raider rather than a filler build. It is not scrappable, so you keep it for its role instead of feeding it to the Scrapyard later. Chase it if you like turning raids into resource income; skip it if you only want combat power for its grade.
