Fortnite Droid Tycoon: How to Get Stellar Droids in the Stellar Variants Event

Everything the Stellar Variants event adds, from conveyor spawn rates and upgrade costs to Nova Crystals and Rebirth 31.

Everything the Stellar Variants event adds, from conveyor spawn rates and upgrade costs to Nova Crystals and Rebirth 31.

The Stellar Variants event drops a new top-tier rarity into the Star Wars Droid Tycoon map by creator foad. Stellar droids carry a golden, constellation-themed look and slot in above the Galactic Mythic tier, and there are three reliable ways to add them to your Droidex during the event.

Quick answer: Get Stellar droids by pulling them off the conveyor belt (6 spawn every 5 minutes in public lobbies, 1 every 5 minutes in solo), by upgrading a Galactic Mythic droid to Stellar for 90,000 upgrade chips, or by running Astromech missions for a 5% chance at a Stellar blueprint.

Where Stellar droids come from

The conveyor belt is the main source. Stellar droids spawn there at a fixed rate depending on your lobby, so a busy public server fills the belt far faster than a solo one.

Lobby typeStellar spawn rate
Public lobby6 droids every 5 minutes
Solo lobby1 droid every 5 minutes

Rarities on the belt range up through Rare pulls such as the Stellar R3, B1 Security, B-U4D, and Senate Hovercam. If you are hunting specific droids to complete the Stellar category in the Droidex, running public lobbies is the faster path.


Upgrading a Galactic Mythic droid to Stellar

If you already own a Galactic Mythic droid, you can promote it straight to Stellar instead of waiting on the belt. The upgrade costs 90,000 upgrade chips per droid, and it converts the existing droid rather than rolling for a new one.

Select a Galactic Mythic droid you want to promote, such as a Loadlifter.
Confirm the upgrade to Stellar and pay the 90,000 upgrade chips. The droid keeps its identity and takes on the golden Stellar design.

Nova Crystals from crafting Stellar droids

Crafting Stellar droids feeds an event reward track that pays out Nova Crystals. Every 10 Stellar droids you craft grants 3 Nova Crystals, and the event caps the total at 120 Nova Crystals. That means 40 crafted Stellar droids is the maximum you can earn from this track before it stops paying out.

Note: Once you have crafted 40 Stellar droids, additional crafting no longer adds Nova Crystals, so plan your grind around that ceiling.

Astromech missions for Stellar blueprints

Astromech missions give a second shot at Stellar rewards. Destinations include Ilum, Mygeeto, and Chandrila, and each run carries a 5% chance to reward a Stellar blueprint. Completing one can unlock a high-value item, such as the Legendary Stellar Proto-Roller blueprint, which produces at 145.80K per second.

Because the drop chance is low, expect to run missions repeatedly. You will know a mission paid out when the blueprint unlocks and appears in your production lineup.

Rebirth 31 requirements

The event pushes progression to Rebirth 31, which asks for a large credit total plus a set of specific high-rarity droids. You need all of the following before the rebirth will trigger.

Boosted offline earnings during the event

Offline earnings are doubled while the event runs, which speeds up the credit grind toward Rebirth 31. High-level players can bank up to 1.36T credits per hour, and offline accrual is capped at 9 hours. To make the most of it, log out with your production running and collect the stored credits when you return.

Between the conveyor belt, direct upgrades, and mission rolls, you have overlapping ways to fill out the Stellar category while the event is active. Chase the belt in public lobbies for volume, upgrade your Galactic Mythics when you have chips to spare, and keep Astromech missions running in the background for a chance at those Legendary Stellar blueprints.
