The Romulan Imperial Legion is a Romulan hostile that patrols Romulan space at levels 60 to 71. It spawns as both a Battleship and an Interceptor, so the class you bring depends on which one you tag. It drops 6★ Broken Survey Parts along with Federation and Klingon reputation, and warp 900 gets you to the lowest spawns. Bring the hull that counters the variant in front of you and it goes down cleanly.
How to beat the Romulan Imperial Legion
The Romulan Imperial Legion comes in two hull types, so there is a swap to make before you fire. Star Trek Fleet Command runs on a hull triangle: Interceptors beat Battleships, Battleships beat Explorers, and Explorers beat Interceptors. Survey ships barely fight, so leave them docked. Against the Battleship version, bring an Interceptor. Against the Interceptor version, bring a Battleship. Check the target’s hull before you commit so you are not fighting uphill.
For the crew, put a captain that boosts weapon damage against hostiles in the chair, then fill the seats with officers that add damage or mitigation. Crews shift with the meta and this hostile sits at a high level, so pull current picks from the Officer Tier List rather than locking into one setup.
This ship also carries an always-active ability called Revolutionary Spirit, which raises its critical hit damage for the first five rounds of combat. The bonus scales with level: 30% from level 60 to 62, 60% from 63 to 65, and 100% from 66 to 71. Its opening salvos are the dangerous part, so blunt that early burst with a mitigation officer or a strong hull, and aim to end the fight quickly rather than trading blows past round five.
Where to find the Romulan Imperial Legion
The Romulan Imperial Legion clusters in Romulan space. The low levels sit at warp 900 in systems like Badgerya, Digali, and Qudorin, while the higher levels push deeper and climb to warp 1525 by level 71 in Stria. Match your warp range to the level you want before you set a course.
| Level | Warp | Systems |
|---|---|---|
| 60–61 | 900 | Badgerya, Digali, Gratia-3, Illuminia, Qudorin, Tir Duha |
| 62 | 900 | Badgerya, Digali, Gratia-3, Illuminia, Qudorin, Tir Duha, Xaxan |
| 63 | 900 | Badgerya, Caralhetes, Digali, Gratia-3, Illuminia, Qudorin, Tir Duha, Xaxan |
| 64 | 900 | Badgerya, Caralhetes, Digali, Gratia-3, Illuminia, Milagriean, Qudorin, Tir Duha, Xaxan |

Rewards and what it drops
The main reward is 6★ Broken Survey Parts, the material used to build and upgrade high-tier survey ships. On top of that, the Romulan Imperial Legion pays out faction reputation. Because it is a Romulan target, killing it lowers your Romulan reputation and grants Federation and Klingon points instead, which is the normal trade for cross-faction grinding. Ship XP climbs steeply with level, from 16,000 at level 60 to 57,000 at level 71, so the higher spawns level a ship faster.
| Drop | What it is |
|---|---|
| 6★ Broken Survey Parts | Crafting material for building and upgrading top-tier survey ships |
| Federation Points | Federation reputation, used for Federation rewards and rank |
| Klingon Points | Klingon reputation, used for Klingon rewards and rank |
| Ship XP | Experience for the ship that lands the kill, scaling up with level |
Romulan Imperial Legion stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level, so treat these as anchors rather than exact values for every spawn.
| Level | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Attack | Defense | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | 3,713,289,645 | 2,055,902,735 | 2,055,902,735 | 1,275,232,200 | 382,154,710 | 16,000 |
| 66 | 15,960,116,915 | 10,600,071,282 | 10,600,071,282 | 4,429,443,398 | 930,602,235 | 29,600 |
| 71 | 56,974,930,424 | 31,448,922,119 | 31,448,922,119 | 23,626,473,505 | 1,899,534,800 | 57,000 |
Romulan Imperial Legion firing pattern
The Romulan Imperial Legion fires an energy shot every round and a heavier three-gun kinetic volley every other round. The kinetic volley is the big hit, so time your repairs and mitigation for the rounds it lands. Both weapon groups can crit for 1.8x damage. The figures below come from the lowest-level record and scale up as the level rises.
| Weapon type | Count | Damage per shot | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | 1 | 40,500,000–49,500,000 | Every round | 10% (1.8x) |
| Kinetic | 3 | 81,000,000–99,000,000 | Every other round | 10% (1.8x) |
The Romulans in Star Trek
The Romulans are an offshoot of the Vulcans who left ancient Vulcan rather than accept Surak’s teachings of pure logic, then settled the twin worlds of Romulus and Remus. Their Star Empire is secretive and militaristic, governed through the Romulan Senate and policed by the feared Tal Shiar intelligence service. Romulan warbirds are known for cloaking devices and, in some eras, artificial quantum singularities that power the ship. After the Earth-Romulan War they became long-running rivals of both the Federation and the Klingons, trusting almost no one outside their own borders. In Star Trek Fleet Command they hold a large stretch of hostile space patrolled by warbirds like this one.
Is the Romulan Imperial Legion worth grinding?
It is worth a run if you need 6★ Broken Survey Parts or fast ship XP in the 60 to 71 band, and the Federation and Klingon reputation is a useful bonus if you are pushing those factions. Watch the Romulan reputation hit if you still need standing there. Match your warp to the level you want, bring the hull that counters the variant, and it settles into a steady farm.
