The Klingon Burial Ship is a Neutral armada target that appears at level 31. You take it down with one strong ship or a formed armada rather than a standard single-hostile hit, and it holds station at warp 25 across six systems. It awards 555 base ship XP and can drop Mycelium Spore. Because it is an armada target with no hull variant, there is no counter class to worry about, so bring your hardest-hitting ship.
How to beat the Klingon Burial Ship
The Klingon Burial Ship is an armada target, not a roaming Interceptor, Battleship, or Explorer, so the usual hull-counter triangle does not apply. There is no class to swap between and nothing to counter. What matters is raw output. You can start the fight from the target, send in one strong ship as the leader, and have other players join with a ship each, or take it solo if your ship is strong enough for the level-31 stat wall. Match warp 25 and pick a ship you can keep alive through a long fight. For other solo and formation targets, see the solo armada hub.
For crew, lean on a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles and officers that add damage or mitigation. At level 31 and warp 25 this sits past the early cadet stage, so pick from your mid-game roster rather than a starter crew. The Officer Tier List tracks the current best picks. Crews shift with the meta, so treat any single recommendation as a starting point and adjust to what you have unlocked.
Where to find the Klingon Burial Ship
The Klingon Burial Ship holds a single level, 31, at warp 25. It appears in six systems, so pick whichever is closest to your base and set warp 25 before you head out.

| 31 | 25 | Aletara, Blys, Ferrer, Kavka, Ordesia, Pandosia |
Rewards and what it drops
As an armada target, the steady reward is ship XP: 555 base per kill, which helps level a hull you are grinding up. The drop tracked in the game data is Mycelium Spore, and it lands as an occasional drop rather than a guaranteed one, so treat it as a bonus on top of the XP.
| Drop | What it is |
|---|---|
| Mycelium Spore | A spore-drive resource linked to the mycelial network |
Klingon Burial Ship stats
These figures are for the level-31 armada target, and an armada version hits far harder than a roaming hostile of the same level.
| Level | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Attack | Defense | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Klingon Burial Ship firing pattern
The Burial Ship carries two weapon groups. Its three energy weapons fire every round for steady pressure, while its two kinetic weapons hit much harder but only fire every other round, so time your repairs and mitigation around those heavier kinetic volleys.
| Weapon type | Count | Damage per shot | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | 3 | 24,840–30,360 | Every round | 10% (1.5x) |
| Kinetic | 2 | 59,616–72,864 | Every other round | 10% (1.5x) |
The Klingons in Star Trek
The Klingons are a warrior culture from the planet Qo’noS, bound by honor, house loyalty, and a fierce code of battle. Death holds a particular place in their beliefs. When a Klingon warrior dies, the body is treated as an empty shell, because the spirit has departed for Sto-vo-kor, the honored afterlife of the slain. Those present may perform the Ak’voh, staying with the body to guard it, and let out a howl to warn the dead that a Klingon warrior is about to arrive. A vessel carrying the honored dead fits squarely into that tradition of ritual and respect for fallen fighters.
Is the Klingon Burial Ship worth grinding?
It is a fair source of ship XP if you are leveling a hull and want an armada-style target in the level-31 band. The Mycelium Spore drop is a bonus rather than a reason to camp it, since it lands only now and then. Bring a strong ship or gather a full armada, match warp 25, and treat it as XP farming with a chance at spore on the side.
