The ship

The SEV Endeavour.

Your ship is the SEV Endeavour, a Starhold Exploration Vessel. Six round modules sit in three pairs along an open spine, with the bridge in a pointed nose at the front and two heavy engine blocks at the back, each with a blue drive.

It carries its mission emblem in three places: on the bridge, on the engines and large on the roof of the engine room. The Endeavour rises from a planet along an orange line, under the star of Starhold.

All of it is concept: the pictures of the ship are renders from development, and the one at the top of the page is concept art. This is not the final game — the Endeavour can still change, a little or a lot, before Early Access.
