The Romulan Elite Assassin is a Tal Shiar hostile that roams Romulan space from level 30 to level 50, spawning as a Battleship, Explorer or Interceptor. Levels 30 to 39 sit one per system, from Parka (warp 26) to Ferraria (warp 53); levels 40 to 50 spread across several systems each at warp 65 to 120. Only Föderation or Klingon designed ships can engage it. Kills pay Klingon and Federation reputation plus Parsteel and Tritanium below level 40, or 4★ Broken Parts from level 40 up.
Romulan Elite Assassin locations (levels 30–50)
The first ten levels climb through Romulanisch space one system at a time. Warp stays at 26 to 39 until level 38, then the level 39 spawn in Ferraria needs warp 53.

From level 40, each level shows up in four to seven systems, and the lists overlap: Esto, Stelama, Nuva, Yina and Elvros each carry the Assassin at seven different levels. Warp is 65 for levels 40 to 43, 75 for 44 to 46, 95 for 47, and 120 for 48 to 50.

All three Elite Assassins at a glance
Players often search for the Elite Assassins as a group. There is one per major faction, all with the same levels, stats and weapons, and each one refuses ships built by its own faction. Here is where each one starts, where the single-system band ends, and where the level 50 version waits.
| Feindliche | Schiffe, die ihn bekämpfen können | Ruf-Ertrag | Level 30 | Stufe 39 | Level 50 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Federation Elite Assassin | Klingon oder Romulan | Romulan und Klingon | Doloran (warp 26) | Memory Alpha (warp 47) | Caelum, Ertalwu, Gamma Sedra, New Reykjavik (warp 120) |
| Klingon Elite Assassin | Federation oder Romulan | Federation und Romulan | Elequa (warp 26) | Burke (warp 52) | Annalu, Inoss, Muhg, Nalla (warp 120) |
| Romulan Elite Assassin | Federation oder Klingon | Klingon und Federation | Parka (warp 26) | Ferraria (warp 53) | Elvros, Jorda, Kiina, Teranth (warp 120) |
How to beat the Romulan Elite Assassin
Check your hull first. The Tal’Shiar Elite Lethal Strike ability means only Federation or Klingon designed ships can engage in battle, and any other ship is lethally struck at the start of combat. Bring a Federation or Klingon hull or you lose the ship the moment the fight begins.
Because it shows up as three hull types, the counter triangle matters. Interceptors beat Schlachtschiffe, Battleships beat Explorers, and Explorers beat Interceptors, and Survey ships barely fight. Bring an Interceptor for the Battleship version, a Battleship for the Explorer version, and an Explorer for the Interceptor version.
The rest of its kit is Elite Assassin Training. On levels 30 to 39 it raises the Assassin’s Isolytic Damage by 100% at the start of combat, a heavy opening spike. On levels 40 to 50 it raises both its Apex Barrier and its Isolytic Damage at the start of combat, so it also takes less damage from you. At either band, pick a hull that can absorb the first volley and aim for a quick kill.
For crew, pick a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles and fill the seats with Offiziere that add damage or mitigation. Your best choices depend on what you have unlocked, so check the Officer Tier List for current recommendations. Crews shift with the meta, so treat any single lineup as a starting point.
Belohnungen und Drops
It is a Romulan ship, so beating it raises your Klingon and Federation standing and costs you Romulan reputation. Per kill that means 205 to 18,800 Klingon points and 103 to 9,400 Federation points depending on level, against a loss of up to 35,250 Romulan points. The material drop flips at level 40: Parsteel and Tritanium below it, 4★ Broken Explorer, Interceptor and Battleship Parts from level 40 to 50. See Fraktionsruf for how those points turn into rewards.

Romulan Elite Assassin stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level. These anchor rows use the Explorer variant at levels 30, 40 and 50; ship XP runs from 520 to 1,101 across them.
| Ebene | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Angriff | Verteidigung | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 1,501,473 | 483,525 | 483,525 | 72,948 | 945,000 | 520 |

Romulan Elite Assassin firing pattern
It fires one Energy and one Kinetic weapon, both every round from the first, with the same damage band. There is no single burst round to brace for. The part to watch is the 30% chance of a triple-damage crit on either gun, so plan repairs and mitigation around those spikes. Values are from the lowest-level record and scale up with level.
| Weapon type | Count | Schaden pro Schuss | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energie | 1 | 5,130–6,156 | Jede Runde | 30% (3x) |
| Kinetic | 1 | 5,130–6,156 | Jede Runde | 30% (3x) |
Die Romulaner in Star Trek
The Romulans are a secretive, militaristic offshoot of the Vulcans who left Vulcan before Surak’s reforms and rejected pure logic in favor of passion and ambition. From Romulus they built a star empire ruled by the Senate and watched over by the Tal Shiar, their feared intelligence service. Romulan commanders lean on deception, Tarnung technology and the long game rather than open confrontation. The Tal’Shiar name on this ship’s ability points straight at that agency, whose operatives were trained killers as much as spies.
Is the Romulan Elite Assassin worth grinding?
Yes, if you want Klingon or Federation reputation and fly ships from those factions. Below level 40 it adds steady Parsteel and Tritanium; above it, the 4★ Broken Parts make it a useful mid-game parts farm. The Isolytic opening and the triple-damage crits mean it is not a set-and-forget target, but a countered hull with a decent crew clears it. Match your warp to the level, bring the Federation or Klingon hull that counters the variant, and browse the Feind-Guide for other reputation targets.
