The Nausicaan Warship is a neutral Battleship hostile that roams a cluster of systems at levels 50 to 52, all sitting behind warp 105. It spawns only as a Battleship, so an Interceptor is the ship you want against it. Kill it for 5-star Broken Battleship Parts, the salvage used to repair damaged 5-star Schlachtschiffe. This guide covers where it spawns, what it drops, its stats, and how it fights.
How to beat the Nausicaan Warship
The Nausicaan Warship only appears as a Battleship, so bring an Interceptor. In the combat triangle Interceptors beat Battleships, and there is no second hull variant here to swap between, so one Interceptor build handles every level from 50 to 52.
Mind its ship ability, Explorer Exploitation. It raises the Warship’s damage against Explorers by 50% for the first five rounds of combat. That is another reason to leave your Explorer docked: an Explorer walks into that bonus and takes heavy fire early, while an Interceptor avoids the penalty and keeps the hull advantage.
For crew, put a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles in the captain seat, then fill the bench with Offiziere that add damage or mitigation. The best names shift with the meta, so check the current Officer Tier List for picks that fit your roster and level. Whatever crew you run, favor a fast kill, because this is a level 50-plus battleship and its stats climb sharply across the three levels.
Watch the jump between levels. From level 51 to level 52 the Warship’s total strength rises by about half, and its hull and attack values climb with it. If your Interceptor clears the level 50 and 51 spawns comfortably but stalls on level 52, that is the wall to gear past before you farm the top level.
Where to find the Nausicaan Warship
The Nausicaan Warship clusters in systems that all require warp 105, so you need a ship tuned for that range before you can reach it. The level 50 spawns sit in six systems, and levels 51 and 52 add a few more, which keeps travel short once you settle into one region. Every spawn is a Battleship, so you never have to switch hull counters between levels.
| Ebene | Warp | Systeme |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 105 | Belmont, Callicoat, Farana, Hulman, New London, Sosain |
| 51 | 105 | Belmont, Callicoat, Farana, Hulman, New London, Samson, Scanlon, Sosain |
| 52 | 105 | Belmont, Callicoat, Farana, Hulman, New London, Samson, Sauchei, Scanlon, Sosain |
Rewards and what it drops
Every Nausicaan Warship drops 5-star Broken Battleship Parts, the repair material for damaged 5-star Battleships. If you run 5-star Battleships in armadas or big hostile grinds, you burn through these parts fast, and the Warship is a steady source at this level band. Higher levels drop more per kill, and ship XP rises with level too, so clearing the level 52 version returns the most experience toward your ship tiers.
| Ablegen | What it is |
|---|---|
| 5★ Zerbrochene Schlachtschiffteile | Repair material for 5-star Battleships. It drops 122 to 208 per kill across levels 50 to 52. |
Nausicaan Warship stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level, so gear for the top of the range if you plan to farm level 52.
| Ebene | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Angriff | Verteidigung | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 17,291,091 | 9,394,089 | 7,045,484 | 7,147,120 | 1,924,185 | 3,000 |
| 51 | 20,385,306 | 10,923,264 | 8,192,345 | 8,569,371 | 2,258,130 | 3,300 |
| 52 | 30,671,788 | 16,205,505 | 12,153,966 | 13,110,833 | 3,381,220 | 3,795 |
Nausicaan Warship firing pattern
The Warship carries two weapon groups. Its two Energy weapons fire every round for steady pressure, while its two Kinetic weapons hit far harder and fire every other round. Both groups crit for 1.8 times damage, so an unlucky Kinetic crit is the single biggest hit you will take in the fight. Time your repairs and mitigation around the Kinetic volley, since that is the shot that spikes your hull damage.
| Weapon type | Count | Damage per shot | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energie | 2 | 324,781 to 396,959 | Every round | 10% (1.8x) |
| Kinetic | 2 | 776,947 to 949,608 | Every other round | 10% (1.8x) |
The Nausicaans in Star Trek
Nausicaans are a tall, aggressive humanoid species known across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants as mercenaries, raiders, and gamblers. In one Next Generation story, a young Jean-Luc Picard was stabbed through the heart by a Nausicaan after a bar brawl over a game of dom-jot, an injury that cost him his original heart and taught him a hard lesson about picking fights. They also appear in the franchise’s later series as hired muscle and pirates who prize strength and intimidation over diplomacy. Their warships match that reputation: blunt, heavily armed raiders built to overpower a target rather than outmaneuver it, which is exactly how the in-game hostile plays.
Is the Nausicaan Warship worth grinding?
Grind the Nausicaan Warship when you need 5-star Broken Battleship Parts and you have an Interceptor that can reach warp 105. It is a single-hull target with a predictable firing pattern, so it farms cleanly once your crew is set. Match the warp, bring the Interceptor, and push to level 52 for the best parts and ship XP per run.
