Spaceship

This article might have further canon details available on StarfinderWiki.

A habitat ship from the spaceship Divinity.

A spaceship is a type of vehicle, and is in some instances a living creature, designed to travel the vast distances between planets or stars. While rarely seen on Golarion outside of crash sites in Numeria and elsewhere, some spaceships have passed through—and even frequently fly within—its solar system, and in exceptionally rare cases have been launched from Golarion itself into space.

Types of spaceships

The following types of spaceships are known to exist, whether in space or on a planet's surface:

Vercite aetherships¹
Dominion of the Black ships²
habitat ships
Brethedan oma, descended from greater beastships³
Androffan starships⁴
Eoxian corpseships⁵
planet-sized worldships⁶

Additionally, some void-traversing creatures such as shantaks can be used for space travel.³

Named spaceships

The Lirgen's Glory at its crash site in Isger.

These specific spaceships are of special interest:

Apostae, though few are aware that it is not a planet⁶
Divinity, an Androffan starship that crashed into Numeria thousands of years ago⁴
Lirgen's Glory, a magical elven spaceship launched from Oagon in 4600 AR that returned in 4712 AR to crash near Dustpawn⁷
Seraph, an aethership once crewed by Alina Haraphasi⁸
Silver Maiden, a magical sailing ship capable of entering space and the Outer Sphere⁹

Elements of a spaceship

Depending on the type of space craft under consideration, it might include a number of the following elements in its construction:¹⁰

airlock¹¹
crew deck: where a ship's crew lives¹²
docking deck: to allow connection to other space craft¹²
engineering deck: where engines and navigation are located¹²
glaucite walls and doors¹³
habitat module: in which various environments can be created⁴
propulsion system, maybe a reactor of some kind
science deck: on which to perform scientific experiments¹²
weapon systems to defend the ship
