Baelosian Guardian is a Federation battleship hostile that patrols Federation space between levels 50 and 60. It spawns only as a Battleship, so an Interceptor is the ship to bring. Kills drop 5-star Broken Battleship Parts along with Klingon and Romulan reputation, paid for with a hit to your Federation standing. Its Plausible Deniability ability heals its shields in the opening rounds, so the goal is to hit hard and finish the fight quickly.
How to beat the Baelosian Guardian
The Baelosian Guardian only appears as a Battleship, which means one counter covers every level: bring an Interceptor. Interceptors beat Battleships, so you take reduced damage while dealing extra. There is nothing to swap between level 50 and level 60, since the hull stays the same the whole way up.
Watch its ship ability, Plausible Deniability. It recovers a share of the ship’s total shield HP for the first 5 rounds of combat, scaling with level: 10% at levels 50 to 52, 15% at 53 to 55, and 20% at 56 to 60, so a slow, grinding fight lets it keep topping its shields back up. Favor burst damage and enough hull to survive the opening, rather than trying to wear it down over many rounds. A quick kill beats a long one here.
For crew, pick a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles and fill the other seats with officers that add damage or shield mitigation. At level 50 and up the best picks move with the game, so check the current Officer Tier List before you commit a crew. Treat any specific list as a snapshot, because crews shift with the meta.
Where to find the Baelosian Guardian
The Baelosian Guardian clusters in Federation systems. The lower levels, 50 through 55, sit at warp 185 to 230 in systems such as Clara, Draumen, and Sementi. As the level climbs it moves outward: by level 57 you are looking at warp 320 and beyond, out in Cynderin, Garyf, and Mullins. Match your warp range to the level you want to farm.
| Level | Warp | Systems |
|---|---|---|
| 50–51 | 185 | Clara, Draumen, Sementi |
| 52–53 | 185 | Clara, Draumen, Sementi, Tyra, Warren |
| 54–55 | 230 | Clara, Garyf, Sementi, Tyra, Warren |
| 56 | 255 | Clara, Cynderin, Garyf, Tyra, Warren |
| 57–58 | 320 | Cynderin, Garyf, Mullins, Tyra, Warren |
| 59–60 | 400 | Cynderin, Garyf, Mullins |
Rewards and what it drops
The main prize is 5-star Broken Battleship Parts, the ship-part material used to build and upgrade high-tier battleships. You also earn Klingon and Romulan reputation on each kill, which helps if you are grinding standing with either faction. The trade-off is Federation reputation: because this is a Federation hostile, attacking it lowers your Federation standing. Ship XP grows with the level you fight, so higher targets pay out more toward your ship’s next tier.
| Drop | What it is |
|---|---|
| 5-star Broken Battleship Parts | Battleship building material used to construct and upgrade battleships |
| Romulan Points | Reputation with the Romulan faction |
| Klingon Points | Reputation with the Klingon faction |
| Federation Points | Federation reputation, which drops when you attack this ship |
Baelosian Guardian stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level, so scout the exact target before you commit. The jump from level 50 to level 60 is more than twenty times the total strength.
| Level | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Attack | Defense | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 18,286,726 | 10,580,128 | 8,728,547 | 6,576,384 | 2,056,005 | 3,000 |
| 55 | 122,113,486 | 70,651,043 | 58,286,715 | 43,915,197 | 13,729,410 | 7,070 |
| 60 | 403,172,209 | 233,262,827 | 192,440,527 | 144,991,242 | 45,329,290 | 11,904 |
Is the Baelosian Guardian worth grinding?
It is worth it if you need 5-star Broken Battleship Parts or you are building Klingon or Romulan reputation, and the ship XP is a useful bonus at the higher levels. Just keep an eye on the Federation reputation you give up on every run. Bring an Interceptor, match your warp to the system, and aim for fast kills so its shield recovery never gets going.
