The Minerva is a grade 6 Uncommon Romulan Explorer that unlocks at Shipyard level 63. It is built for speed and survival in hazardous space: a Radiation Resistance ability, a cloak, and an out-of-combat self-repair make it a deep-space runner and a cloak-and-strike raider rather than a front-line armada hull. For an Uncommon ship it hits hard once refitted, and it earns its slot if you spend time in radiation-heavy systems.<\/p>\n
Building the Minerva takes 150 blueprints and a Shipyard at level 63. Once you have both, the build cost is 364 Σ-Dilithium, 43,400 Σ-Tritanium, and 2,648 6★ Common Refined Gas, and the build runs for 9 days. The game data lists the requirement and the cost but not where the blueprints come from, so check what is currently offering Minerva blueprints in game before you commit to the grind.<\/p>\n
The Minerva’s always-active ship ability is Radiation Resistance. It raises the ship’s radiation resistance by 15% at level 1 and climbs to 150% at level 75. Radiation resistance lowers the damage your ship takes from radiation in the systems that carry it, so the higher it sits, the longer the Minerva can work deep-space regions before it needs repairs. Ship abilities like this stay on at all times with no activation.<\/p>\n
The Minerva also has two player-triggered actions, each unlocked through a refit. Ship Cloaking hides the ship until the cloak’s duration runs out, you enter combat, start mining, or dock at a station. Field Repairs, used out of combat while undocked, instantly restores 25% of the ship’s hull health. Cloaking lets you reposition or slip past hostiles unseen, and Field Repairs saves a trip back to station after a rough fight. Both run on a cooldown that shortens as the ship tiers up.<\/p>\n
