The Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager is a Delta Quadrant hostile that spawns as an Explorer at levels 35 to 60. It patrols the FSEP deep-space systems across a wide warp band, from warp 30 at the low end up to warp 900 at level 60. Kill it and it drops Hirogen Relics and Exotic Biotoxins. Because it flies an Explorer hull, the fast way to clear it is to bring a Battleship.
How to beat the Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager
STFC combat runs on a rock-paper-scissors triangle. Interceptors beat Battleships, Battleships beat Explorers, and Explorers beat Interceptors. Survey ships sit outside the triangle and barely fight, so leave them docked for this target.
The Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager only appears as an Explorer hull, which makes the choice simple: bring a Battleship. A Battleship of similar tier lands hard hits and soaks the return fire, so you can clear these ships without long repairs between fights. Watch the level you engage, since the stats climb fast from level 35 to level 60, and a ship that shreds the low version can stall against the high one.
Skip Interceptors here. The Explorer hull beats Interceptors on the triangle, so an Interceptor takes extra damage and dies faster than it should. A Survey ship is worse, since it has almost no weapons. Stick with the Battleship, and move up in tier before you move up in target level.
For crew, seat a captain who boosts weapon damage against hostiles, then fill the two officer seats with damage or mitigation officers. The strongest picks change as new officers arrive, so check the current Officer Tier List before you lock a crew in. At this level range you are past the early cadet crews, so lean on whichever hostile-damage officers you have unlocked. One caveat: crews shift with the meta, and what tops the list this season can drop next.
This ship also has a listed weakness, an Explorer Isolytic Vulnerability: its Isolytic Defense is reduced by 12% when it fights an Explorer. That is a separate system from the hull triangle above, where a Battleship stays the clean counter to its Explorer hull.
Where to find the Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager
These ships cluster in the FSEP systems. The lower levels sit at short warp, and the level 60 version is parked far out at warp 900. Match the warp to your ship’s range before you set a course, and step up the level as your Battleship gets stronger.
| Level | Warp | Systems |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | 30 | FSEP-505 |
| 40 | 225 | FSEP-3819 |
| 51 | 470 | FSEP-247 |
| 60 | 900 | FSEP-001 |
Rewards and what it drops
The Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager is a Delta Quadrant farm. Every kill can drop two resources, both tied to Delta Quadrant progression, and the drop amounts widen with level, so higher targets pay out more per run. Ship XP barely moves across the level range, so you run these for the drops, not the experience.
| Drop | What it is |
|---|---|
| Hirogen Relics | A Delta Quadrant relic resource spent on Delta faction rewards and crafting. |
| Exotic Biotoxins | A rare biological resource used in higher-tier refining and research. |
Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager stats
Stats vary by hull variant and climb steeply with level, so treat these as anchor points rather than fixed values.

The Silver Blood in Star Trek
The Silver Blood comes from the Voyager episode “Course: Oblivion,” a follow-up to the earlier episode “Demon.” Voyager’s crew visited a Demon-class planet coated in a silver biomimetic fluid that copied every crew member and the ship itself, atom for atom. The duplicates believed they were the real crew and set course for Earth. As they traveled, the harsh environment that kept them stable fell away, and both the copied crew and their copied Voyager slowly broke down. The Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager you fight in STFC is that duplicate ship, a mirror of the Intrepid-class original carried over from the Delta Quadrant.
Is the Silver Blood U.S.S. Voyager worth grinding?
It earns its place if you need Hirogen Relics or Exotic Biotoxins, since it drops both on a single target. Ship XP stays nearly flat across the levels, so you farm it for the resources rather than the experience. Pick the level whose warp your ship can reach, bring a Battleship to counter the Explorer hull, and you can run it as a steady resource loop between other Delta Quadrant jobs. If your goal is a fast, low-repair grind, sit on the level your current Battleship clears cleanly and climb only when the tier upgrade lands.
