The Alliance Bird-of-Prey is a Mirror Universe hostile in Star Trek Fleet Command. It spawns in two separate bands: a lone level 35 version in Mirror Cardassia, then levels 45 to 70 across mirror space at warp ranges from 75 to 800. It only appears as an Interceptor, so an Explorer is the ship to bring. Kills in the main band pay Raw Trellium-A and Raw Trellium-D, and its Deadlock ability hull breaches your ship the moment combat starts.<\/p>\n
Every Alliance Bird-of-Prey is an Interceptor, and Explorers beat Interceptors, so the counter choice is settled before you undock. There is no Battleship or Explorer variant of this hostile, which means nothing changes between the level 35 spawn and the level 70 one: the same Explorer counter applies across the whole range.<\/p>\n
Its two built-in abilities work as a pair. Deadlock hull breaches your ship at combat start and holds the breach for the entire fight. Dismantlement and Photophobia then cash in on it: at the start of any round in which your ship is hull breached, the Bird-of-Prey gains 20% weapon damage and 10% Isolytic Damage for that round. Since Deadlock makes the breach permanent, both bonuses are effectively always on. There is no way to play around the combo, so plan for a short fight: bring the strongest Explorer you can field and repair between kills instead of counting on your shields to carry a long exchange.<\/p>\n
For crew, the principle beats any fixed list: a captain whose ability raises weapon damage against hostiles, backed by officers<\/a> that add damage or mitigation. The cadet trio of Cadet Kirk as captain with Cadet Spock and Cadet Uhura can still handle the level 35 spawn, but the 45-plus band wants stronger combinations, so check the officer tier list<\/a> for current picks. Crews shift with the meta, so treat any named combination as a starting point.<\/p>\n The level 35 version sits alone in Mirror Cardassia at warp 50; nothing spawns between 35 and 45, so don’t go hunting for the missing middle levels. The main band starts at level 45, where seven systems at warp 75 give you plenty of room to farm, then thins out as it climbs: by level 68 the spawns demand a warp range of 800. That jump from warp 230 at level 60 to warp 800 at level 68 splits the grind in two, and most players will live in the 45 to 60 band for a long while before the top systems open up.<\/p>\n<\/span>Where to find the Alliance Bird-of-Prey<\/span><\/h2>\n
