The USS Reliant is an Epic ship focused on Augment Exile (WOK) hostiles, available from Operations Level 26 with 18 upgrade tiers. It's upgraded with Reliant Ship Parts and comes with combat abilities active from Tier 1, plus exclusive daily claims, officer unlocks, and Favor access -- built specifically to counter Hijacked D7 and DY-200 Class hostiles.
M/ARA Insulation grants full immunity to the Dilithium Destabilization ability both Hijacked hostile types use, protecting your Warp Core from instant destruction. Reliant Payoff increases Hijacked Splicers gained by up to 3,500% (scaling with tier), Always Reliant increases Isolytic damage by up to 75,000% against Augment Exile hostiles (scaling with level), and Reliant Barrier adds 50,000 Apex Barrier for survivability. Together they let the Reliant safely auto-grind hostiles that would otherwise be dangerous to farm.
Reliant Officer Choice Tokens unlock across all 18 tiers, letting you claim officers across four rarities as you progress, and each tier-up also grants a bundle of Wrath Credits and more tokens. Wrath Credits buy exclusive Favors -- extra warp range, HHP/SHP, critical hit resistance, PvP damage mitigation, and officer cost efficiency for several named crews. Owning the ship also unlocks three dedicated claims: a Mega Claim (Wrath Credits, reputation, Reliant Parts, Tritanium), a Forbidden Tech claim, and a Priority One Away Teams claim. If you also own the Augment Prime Ordinance Node, the Reliant adds a further 50% to Wrath Credit payouts.
