The U.S.S. Kelvin is a grade 4 Uncommon Federation Interceptor that unlocks at Shipyard level 42. Its job is defense: while defending, it raises the shield piercing, armor piercing, and accuracy of your whole fleet, which makes it a support hull for base and armada defense rather than a solo grinder. If you fly F\u00f6deration<\/a> ships, it earns its slot.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to get the U.S.S. Kelvin<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Kelvin needs 150 blueprints to build, and the build opens once your Shipyard reaches level 42 and you have completed the required grade 4 ship research. Blueprints for it have appeared in the Federation faction store, so Federation-aligned players can gather them over time through reputation.<\/p>\n

The build cost is 25,000,000 Tritanium, 1,600,000 Dilithium, 7,000 4\u2605 Gemeinsame<\/a> Refined Crystal, and 2,450 4\u2605 Common Refined Gas. Base build time is 150 days, before any construction-speed research or bonuses. From Operations level 55 the Kelvin becomes scrappable, so it can feed the scrapyard once you outgrow it.<\/p>\n

<\/span>U.S.S. Kelvin ability<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Kelvin’s ship ability is Inventive Strategy. When the Kelvin is defending, at the start of each round it increases the shield piercing, armor piercing, and accuracy of every ship and defense platform by 30% at level 1, scaling to 100% at level 60. Ship abilities are always active, so there is nothing to trigger.<\/p>\n

Because the buff only fires on defense and covers your whole fleet plus defense platforms, the Kelvin reads as a base-defense and armada-defense piece. Sitting in a station defense or a defending armada, it sharpens the offense of everything around it.<\/p>\n

<\/span>U.S.S. Kelvin active abilities<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Kelvin also carries two player-unlocked abilities that sit apart from the always-on Inventive Strategy. Relentless Assault increases weapon damage against hostiles and armadas, giving the ship an offensive mode for PvE grinding. Field Repairs works out of combat: while undocked, it instantly repairs 25% of the ship’s health, which saves a trip back to dock during a long session. Both come from refits, covered below, and each is used on its own terms rather than running always. Relentless Assault also appears as a ship-specific research project, which is where its scaling comes from as you invest.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Stats and tiers<\/span><\/h2>\n

These are base values from the current game data; research, buffs, and Offiziere<\/a> raise them in play. One quirk to note: the Kelvin’s hull HP holds steady across tiers while its shield HP and cargo keep climbing, so most of its survivability growth comes from shields rather than hull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Weapons and firing pattern<\/span><\/h2>\n

Warm-up is the round a weapon first fires; cool-down is how many rounds pass between shots after that. The values below are at max tier 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span>U.S.S. Kelvin refits<\/span><\/h2>\n

Refits unlock the Kelvin’s extra abilities and a cosmetic skin. They cost ship shards and, in one case, a building level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Kelvin Relentless Assault<\/td>\nUnlocks the Relentless Assault ability. Needs a level 42 Armory and 60 shards.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Jem’Hadar Fighters<\/td>\nUnlocks the Jem’Hadar Fighter skin.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/span>Crew for the U.S.S. Kelvin<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Kelvin is a defensive support hull, so a defending crew wants officers that boost mitigation, shield health, or the piercing and accuracy stats its ability already leans on. For an offensive Relentless Assault build against hostiles, weapon-damage and crit officers fit better. For current top picks, see the officer tier list<\/a>; the best crew shifts as the meta and your roster change.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The U.S.S. Kelvin in Star Trek<\/span><\/h2>\n

The U.S.S. Kelvin opens the 2009 Star Trek film. In 2233 it is the first Starfleet ship to meet the Narada, the Romulanisch<\/a> mining vessel commanded by Nero that arrives through a black hole from the future. With its captain killed, first officer George Kirk takes command, orders the crew to evacuate, and then rams the Kelvin into the Narada to cover their escape. His wife gives birth to James T. Kirk<\/a> during the evacuation. That sacrifice defines the film’s alternate reality, which fans named the Kelvin timeline after the ship.<\/p>\n
