What is the Stella and what makes it unique?
Harry Mudd’s ship, the Stella, is designed specifically for battling Eclipse hostiles and Outlaw Armadas. It’s a core part of the Rogue (Outlaw) gameplay loop and features a unique mechanic that allows players to scrap and rebuild it repeatedly for greater rewards and progression through the Outlaws Research Tree.
How do I acquire the Stella?
You can earn Stella Blueprints by participating in events or checking event stores for special offers. Before you can construct the ship, you must complete the “Stella Research” node in the Outlaws Research Tree. This research is mandatory and grants up to 300% bonus damage to the Stella when fighting Eclipse targets.
How does the Stella’s unique mechanic work?
The Stella follows a build–fight–scrap–rebuild cycle. To make her stronger:
Build the Stella.
Fight Eclipse hostiles and Armadas to level her up.
Scrap the ship when she reaches a higher level to earn valuable resources.
The most important reward from scrapping is Stella Particles, which are used to unlock and upgrade Outlaw Research nodes that permanently improve the Stella’s power and efficiency.
When scrapped, you’ll also receive a Blueprint Token, which can be redeemed in the Rogue Faction Store to reacquire the blueprints needed to rebuild the Stella.
How do I upgrade the Stella?
Upgrading the Stella works like other ships—you’ll need materials earned from Outlaw missions and Rogue Faction Store credits. Completing Outlaw Loop quests also rewards the materials required for upgrades.
Why should I avoid bringing non-Stella ships to Exchange Armadas?
While you can technically bring any ship, it’s not recommended to use non-Stella vessels during Exchange Armadas. Loot is divided based on ship power, and only the Stella receives a loot boost. If higher-power, non-Stella ships join, they take a larger share of loot—reducing the total boosted rewards for everyone. Though this doesn’t affect member chests, it decreases the Armada’s total loot pool and is generally discouraged.
