Stella
The Stella is used in Rogue Space to farm traders and fight Eclipse Armadas. These traders will drop Eclipse Security Codes, which will be turned in for loot. The armadas drop uncommon, rare, and epic eclipse loot and are started by eclipse-specific armada directives.
To get uncommon and rare directives, you buy them in the faction store. You can purchase them using the Eclipse Security Codes you farm, or mine green data in Augment Space. The cost and rewards change as your reputation changes. Epic armada directives are rewards from killing uncommon armadas.
Scrapping
In order to do research for the Stella, you need to scrap it. This gives you Stella Particles, which you use in the research.
The higher the level (not tier, you must either spend the xp or farm it to max level), the more particles you get. In addition, you get more loot from the ship ability with a higher level ship so not getting it back up will seriously cripple your ability to farm more loot.
This means you should have already bought enough uranium to go back up to a decent level. Because of this, many people choose to take it to tier 5, level to 25, scrap, then repeat at the beginning as it requires very little rare plutonium so is easy to do and has decent rewards.

Once you scrap the Stella, you need to use the token you get from the scrap in the Rogue Store to buy a new set of blueprints.
Getting A Second Stella
Getting a second Stella makes a lot of sense, because you can upgrade one fully and use it to farm Eclipse hostiles and armadas, while the second one becomes your scrap beast. Remembers, the Stella’s ability increases the loot you get, so having a higher tier Stella means more loot quicker.
You can of course buy it in the real money store, but if you look at the image above I have 50 BPs which I didn’t pay for. At the end of every Battle Pass arc there is a big event store where you can buy all kinds of things. One of those things is up to 50 Stella blueprints. This is the best way to do it, as they are relatively cheap in this store. The problem is, unfortunately, that this store usually runs only once every approximately four months (each arc is usually 4 battle passes).
Until you have your first Stella, do not buy these though. They will replace the ones you can easily buy in the Rogue Store, which means you’ll have to buy even more from the event stores.
