The Imperial Starfleet Warship is a Mirror Universe hostile you fight across levels 35 to 65 in Mirror-tagged systems. It spawns only as a Battleship, so an Interceptor counters it cleanly. Kills drop Parsteel at the low levels and Raw Trellium-A higher up, which makes it a reliable stop for basic materials while you push warp deeper into Mirror space.
How to beat the Imperial Starfleet Warship
This hostile only appears as a Battleship, so bring an Interceptor. In Star Trek Fleet Command combat, Interceptors beat Schlachtschiffe, which means you take less incoming damage and deal more over the fight. There is nothing to swap between levels here: one hull type, one counter class.
For crew, put a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles in the captain’s chair and fill the other seats with Offiziere that add damage or mitigation. If you are still early and clearing the level 35 to 40 spawns, the cadet crew of Cadet Kirk as captain with Cadet Spock and Cadet Uhura holds up well. For current top picks, check the Officer Tier List, since the best crews shift with the meta.
Watch its ship abilities. Deadlock hull breaches you at the start of combat and keeps you breached for the whole fight. While you are hull breached, its Dismantlement and Photophobia abilities raise its weapon damage by 20% and its Isolytic Damage by 10% each round. In practice it stays buffed against you from the first round on, so favor a fast kill or a strong hull tank rather than counting on shields to ride the fight out.
Isolytic damage is a special damage type that standard shield and armor mitigation does not fully absorb, so the Photophobia boost keeps chipping at you even when your defenses are holding. Because both buffs key off the hull breach that Deadlock applies immediately, there is no window where the ship fights you unbuffed. Two practical answers work: stack hull health so the breach hurts less, or put enough firepower on your Interceptor to end the fight before the extra damage piles up. On the level 35 to 45 spawns a reasonably built ship shrugs this off; it matters most once you push into the level 55 and higher rooms.
Where to find the Imperial Starfleet Warship
It clusters in Mirror systems across a wide warp band. The level 35 to 45 spawns sit at warp 50 to 75 in the nearer Mirror systems, while the level 51 and higher spawns climb from warp 200 out to warp 700 in deeper Mirror space. Match your warp range to the level you want to farm.
| Ebene | Warp | Systeme |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | 50 | Mirror Bajor, Mirror Sirius, Mirror Sol, Mirror Wolf |
| 40 | 50 | Mirror Alpha Centauri, Mirror Andoria, Mirror Archer, Mirror Axanar, Mirror Deneb, Mirror Nausicaa, Mirror Ordesia |
| 45 | 75 | Mirror Hann |
| 51 | 200 | Mirror Babel |
| 55 | 200 | Mirror Inari |
| 61 | 700 | Mirror Barklay |
| 65 | 700 | Mirror Thama |
Rewards and what it drops
The Imperial Starfleet Warship drops basic materials that scale with the level you fight. Lower spawns hand over Parsteel, and from level 40 up it drops Raw Trellium-A. Neither drop is selten, so the draw here is volume: a ship that clears these quickly can stockpile both between other tasks. Ship XP also climbs steeply with level, so higher spawns level a ship faster while you farm.
| Ablegen | What it is |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | A core building material used for base upgrades and construction. Drops at levels 35 to 40. |
| Raw Trellium-A | A raw material you refine into Trellium for mid-game and later builds. Drops at levels 40 to 65. |
Imperial Starfleet Warship stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level, so a level 65 spawn is far tougher than a level 35 one.
| Ebene | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Angriff | Verteidigung | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | 929,431 | 162,910 | 89,290 | 393,601 | 409,730 | 703 |
| 50 | 2,082,766,431 | 2,319,626,852 | 1,546,417,902 | 129,209,054 | 20,535,000 | 2,780 |
| 65 | 13,190,488,977 | 14,690,563,456 | 9,793,708,971 | 818,301,358 | 130,051,405 | 25,700 |
Imperial Starfleet Warship firing pattern
It carries two Energy weapons that fire every round and one heavier Kinetic weapon that fires every other round. The Kinetic shot hits hardest, so time your repairs or mitigation for the rounds it lands. These figures come from the lowest-level spawn and scale up as the level climbs.
| Weapon type | Count | Damage per shot | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energie | 2 | 55,477 to 67,806 | Every round | 10% (1.5x) |
| Kinetic | 1 | 133,145 to 162,733 | Every other round | 10% (1.5x) |
The Mirror Universe in Star Trek
The Mirror Universe is a parallel reality first seen in the original series episode “Mirror, Mirror,” where a transporter accident throws Kirk and his crew into a savage alternate Starfleet. In that reality the Federation is replaced by the Terranisches Reich, a regime that rules through conquest and assassination. Later series including Deep Space Nine, Unternehmen, and Discovery went back to it and filled in its history. Its officers advance by eliminating their superiors, and its ships, marked ISS rather than USS, run on fear and ambition. Ships and officers there wear familiar names but serve an empire built on force, which is why these Imperial Starfleet vessels show up as hostiles rather than allies.
Is the Imperial Starfleet Warship worth grinding?
It is a reliable farm for Parsteel and Raw Trellium-A, and the higher spawns give good ship XP if you are leveling a hull at the same time. Bring an Interceptor, match your warp to the level you can clear, and plan for a hull breach from round one. If you are farming Trellium specifically, camp the level 40 and higher spawns, since the lower rooms only give Parsteel. For other Mirror targets, see the Mirror Universe hostiles hub.
