The Romulan Vanquisher is a level 70 Romulan hostile that appears as a Survey-class ship in the Eriodna system, out in deep, high-warp space (warp 1300). Take one down for 6★ Broken Survey Parts and a faction reputation swing: you lose Romulan standing and gain Klingon and Federation reputation. Because it only ever spawns as a Survey hull, any strong combat ship of the right level clears it without a class matchup to worry about.
How to beat the Romulan Vanquisher
This hostile comes in one hull type only, Survey, so there is no counter triangle to think about and nothing to swap between levels. Survey ships carry the weakest combat profile of any class in the game, which means the Vanquisher gets no hull advantage against your fleet. Bring your strongest level-appropriate combat ship, whether that is an Interceptor, Battleship, or Explorer, and it goes down cleanly. Survey hulls also run low mitigation, so even though this target sits on a large hull pool, the fight rarely drags out against a fleet built for level 70 content.
For crew, the reliable principle is a captain who boosts weapon damage against hostiles, backed by officers who add raw damage or mitigation. At level 70 you are well past the early cadet crews, so lean on your current damage dealers and check the Officer Tier List for the picks that fit your roster right now. Crew choices move with the meta, so treat any single recommendation as a starting point rather than a fixed answer.
Where to find the Romulan Vanquisher
The Vanquisher sits at a single level, 70, in one system: Eriodna. It is a deep-space target in Romulan territory, so you need warp 1300 to reach it. There is no lower-level version to hunt closer to home, so plan the run around that warp requirement and make sure your ship and crew are ready for endgame numbers before you jump.
| Level | Warp | Systems |
|---|---|---|
| 70 | 1300 | Eriodna |
Rewards and what it drops
The payout centers on survey-ship materials and faction reputation. The main material drop is 6★ Broken Survey Parts, used to build and upgrade tier 6 survey vessels. Attacking a Romulan target costs you Romulan reputation while paying out Klingon and Federation reputation, so the Vanquisher doubles as a reputation grind if you are pushing standing with those two factions. Each kill also awards 51,800 ship XP toward the ship you fly.
| Drop | What it is |
|---|---|
| 6★ Broken Survey Parts (20,558–25,127) | Tier 6 survey-ship components, used to build and upgrade survey vessels |
| Klingon reputation (+371,200) | Standing with the Klingons, spent in their faction store |
| Federation reputation (+185,600) | Standing with the Federation, spent in their faction store |
| Romulan reputation (decreases) | You lose Romulan standing for attacking a Romulan ship |

Romulan Vanquisher firing pattern
The Vanquisher fires two weapon groups. Its Energy weapons hit every round for steady pressure, while its Kinetic weapons land the heavier blows but only fire every other round. Time your repairs and mitigation around the Kinetic volleys, since those are the shots that spike your incoming damage.
| Weapon type | Count | Damage per shot | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | 2 | 45,876,624,920–56,071,430,520 | Every round | 10% (1.8x) |
| Kinetic | 2 | 91,753,249,840–112,142,861,040 | Every other round | 10% (1.8x) |
The Romulans in Star Trek
The Romulans are a secretive, militaristic people descended from Vulcans who rejected Surak’s teachings of pure logic and left their homeworld to settle Romulus and Remus. Where Vulcans embrace emotional control, Romulans pour that same intensity into ambition, cunning, and a deep distrust of outsiders. Their society runs on political maneuvering, backed by the feared Tal Shiar intelligence service and a fleet of cloaking-capable warbirds. Across Star Trek they stand as one of the Federation’s most dangerous rivals, preferring misdirection and patience to open battle, then striking hard once an opponent is committed.
Is the Romulan Vanquisher worth grinding?
It earns its place if you need 6★ Broken Survey Parts or you are building Klingon and Federation standing, and the Survey hull makes it an easy kill for a level 70 target. The catch is the Romulan reputation you give up on every hit, so skip it while you are working on Romulan standing. Match warp 1300, bring your strongest combat ship, and clear it fast.
