The Ra'Ul Reaver: raiding Sigma resources at G6 and G7

LATE GAME 3 min read

This is a Grade 6 and 7 ship

It needs a level 61 drydock, so it is out of reach until you are well into the late game. If you are below that, read this as something to plan for, not something to chase now.

KEY POINTS

The Ra'Ul Reaver is an Epic ship for G6 and G7 players. It raids Sigma resources from other players' stations.
Upgrade it for its refinery. The bonus share is tiny: 0.01% at Tier 1, 0.1% at Tier 15.
Raid with an empty hold. The bonus share only works if the ship had free cargo space before the attack.

01 WHAT IT IS

The Ra'Ul Reaver arrived on 28 July 2026. It steals Sigma resources from other players' stations. Until this ship, you could not raid them directly. It is the Amalgam's successor for G6 and above.

02 HOW THE RAID LOOP WORKS

After a successful raid, the Reaver fills its hold with Sigma-Parsteel, Sigma-Tritanium and Sigma-Dilithium in a 10 to 2 to 1 ratio. Leftover space fills with other resources from the target. The ship also has its own refinery, so you have a second route that needs no target.

Scopely's own diagram of the two halves: raid a station on the left, run the dedicated refinery claim on the right.

03 THE TWO ABILITIES, AND THE CATCH

Sigma Feast makes the ship take Sigma resources first. Matter Array is the cargo hold. Cargo Bay buffs do not change its capacity. It also adds a bonus share: if the target holds more than the Reaver can carry, the ship takes an extra slice of the rest. This only works if the Reaver had empty cargo space before the attack. The share is tiny. It grows from 0.01 percent at Tier 1 to 0.1 percent at Tier 15, the maximum tier.

04 THE REFINERY IS THE REAL REASON TO UPGRADE

Three exclusive bundles convert Parsteel, Tritanium and Dilithium into their Sigma versions. Each has a 22-hour cooldown and gains value as you upgrade the ship. The refinery also supplies the ship's own parts. Sigma resources arrive as tokens, and tokens cannot be raided off you.

05 BLUEPRINTS AND COST

Blueprints come from the Alliance Tournament Store and Infinite Incursions. You need 200. You can build more than one Reaver. The build needs a level 61 drydock and takes 3 days and 3 hours. The ship tops out at Tier 15 and level 75.

06 THE LAUNCH WINDOW

For 28 days from release, upgrading the ship unlocks milestone gifts every two tiers in the Sigma Refinery. They include Peace Shields, Sigma Resource Tokens and officer shards (SCT Nog, VIL Gul Dukat, VIL Winn Adami). The 28 days run from the 28 July release.
