Update 95 Spotlight: U.S.S Kelcie Mae

By Obsidian Hamster 18 September 2026

Designed for Ops 61+ Commanders, the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae is a unique Starfleet vessel built for rapid travel and transporting valuable cargo, now retrofitted with advanced mining equipment and experimental weaponry. 

Designed to augment nearly every part of the Territory Capture experience, the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae offers faster Isogenite mining, stronger Capture Node defense, new Territory Research nodes, and an expanded Territory Capture Refinery featuring Nexus Prisms, Kelcie Mae Ship Parts, Officer Shards, and other valuable resources. 


The U.S.S. Kelcie Mae features two abilities designed to enhance mining and survivability within Territory Capture.

Isogenite Prospector

  • Increases your base Mining Speed for 1★, 2★, and 3★ Raw Isogenite and Isogenite Geodes by 1,100,000% (Max Value).

Staying Power

  • Increases your base Standard Damage by 6,000,000% (Max Value) and base Apex Barrier by 250,000,000 (Max Value) while defending a Capture Node during a Takeover against a player.

Together, these abilities allow the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae to mine Territory Capture resources more efficiently, while providing additional combat strength when defending Capture Nodes during Takeovers.


The first time the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae reaches each new tier, Commanders will receive a one-time gift containing Officer Badge Choice Tokens, which can be exchanged for their choice of Command, Science, or Engineering Badges. (This Tier-Up gift only applies to the first U.S.S. Kelcie Mae built.) 

During the Update 95 arc, running from September 17 to October 15, each tier-up gift will also include a limited-time bonus of Cat Spock, Ambassador Spock, and Female Spock Shards, providing additional opportunities to progress these Officers alongside the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae.


The U.S.S. Kelcie Mae brings new additions to the Territory Capture Refinery, expanding access to Officer Shards, progression resources, ship materials, and more.

New Refinery Sourcing

  • Cat Spock, Ambassador Spock, and Female Spock Shards
  • 4◇ Refined Isogen
  • Uncommon Progenitor Alloys
  • Nexus Prisms
  • U.S.S. Kelcie Mae Parts
  • U.S.S. Kelcie Mae Tier-Up Gifts
  • Consulate Quantum & Luminous Cores
  • Chronometric Particles
  • Progenitor Alloys
  • Refined Isogenite

Nexus Prisms are a new resource used to progress the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae’s Territory Research, providing a direct connection between the ship’s Refinery loop and its Research progression.

Bonus Rewards

Additional rewards available through the Refinery include exchanges that allow Nexus Prisms to be traded for other Prism types


The U.S.S. Kelcie Mae unlocks 17 new Territory Research nodes, providing powerful bonuses for the ship itself while also expanding progression across Territory Capture, G6+ Survey ships, and G6+ FKR ships.

With the exception of 2 special nodes, each Research node features 15 levels, with one level corresponding to each tier of the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae. The ship must reach the required tier before the corresponding Research level can be unlocked.

These new Research nodes require Nexus Prisms, a new resource sourced exclusively through the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae Refinery.

Together, these new Research nodes strengthen the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae’s mining and survival capabilities, while providing broader bonuses across Territory Capture combat, mining, Armadas, and G6+ progression.


When a player attacks you on a mining node your combat officer abilities are negated (-100% to CM/OA/BDA) but you receive:

  • +40,000,000% base Standard Damage
  • +300% base Shots per attack
  • 8 round delay to enemy weapon fire
  • +10,000,000% resistance to the Borg Cube’s Cutting Beam and the GS-31’s Gravitational Blast

The U.S.S. Kelcie Mae brings a new way to approach Territory Capture, combining faster resource collection with stronger Capture Node defense.

Its expanded Refinery and new Territory Research nodes provide additional progression across the ship, Territory Capture, G6+ Surveys, and G6+ FKR ships.

With new tier-up rewards, Nexus Prism sourcing, and powerful mining and combat bonuses, the Kelcie Mae provides new opportunities to strengthen Territory Capture gameplay.

By supporting Commanders across mining, Takeovers, Research, and rewards, the U.S.S. Kelcie Mae enhances the overall Territory Capture experience.
