These Tier 6 Battlecruiserswill be made available in the C-Store soon. These starships have three variants per faction and are available in three ways:
Individually (2500 ZEN each for this weekend only!)

Please Note: Captains who purchase single ships will be unable to purchase bundles containing that ship.
T6 Battlecruisers Ship Stats
We’re excited to reveal the stats, items and abilities for three new starships: the Arbiter Class Battlecruiser, the Kurak Battlecruiser and the Morrigu Heavy Warbird. Each of these ships are an enhanced version of an existing Tier 5 battlecruiser or warbird. All three of these ships come equipped with a special console and can unlock a new starship trait at level 5 Starship Mastery. Below are the stats for these new Tier 6 starships and their fleet variants that will be released at the same time as the standard Tier 6 versions.
The Tier 6 Arbiter Class Battlecruiser is based upon the Avenger Class Battlecruiser's design. This upgraded starship was designed from the ground up to be durable enough to combat the Iconian threat while still being able to deliver punishing amounts of damage.
This starship features a Lieutenant Commander Tactical/Intel specialist seat.
Costume
The Arbiter Class Battlecruiser has a brand new costume. In addition, the Arbiter has access to the Avenger Battlecruiser’s costume.

Universal Console – Ablative Hazard Shielding
When activated, Ablative Hazard Shielding grants a temporary secondary shield. Upon expiration, energy absorbed by the shielding is shunted to shields and the structural integrity field, granting a large Hull and Shield Heal.
This console also provides a passive boost to shield hardness and regeneration.
This console may be equipped on any Starfleet Battlecruiser into any of their console slots. You may only equip one of these consoles.
Deadly Maneuvers Set (2 pieces)
Equipping both consoles from the Avenger Class Battlecruiser and the Arbiter Class Battlecruiser [T6] will bestow a set bonus to your starship.
