Vehicle Assets
There are three categories of vehicles: your command vehicle, support vehicles, and incidental vehicles you acquire during play. This page covers the command vehicle and support vehicle assets. Incidental vehicles are described in Your Character.
Command Vehicle: Starship
The command vehicle is your interstellar Starship. It is a default asset for your character, taken when you begin your campaign. If you are playing with others, this is a shared asset; each of you may use the Starship’s abilities while aboard the craft.
The command vehicle has an integrity meter and starts at 5 integrity. When your Starship takes a hit, make the Withstand Damage move to see what happens.
Your armed, multipurpose starship is suited for interstellar and atmospheric flight. It can comfortably transport several people, has space for cargo, and can carry and launch support vehicles. When you Advance, you may spend experience to equip this vehicle with module assets.
Abilities:
- Your armed, multipurpose starship is suited for interstellar and atmospheric flight. It can comfortably transport several people, has space for cargo, and can carry and launch support vehicles. When you Advance, you may spend experience to equip this vehicle with module assets.
- When you Finish an Expedition (dangerous or greater) in your starship and score a hit, this journey strengthened your ties to your ship and any fellow travelers. You and your allies may mark 1 tick on your bonds legacy track.
- When you Withstand Damage, you may roll +heart. If you do, Endure Stress (-1) on a weak hit or miss.
Support Vehicle Assets
Support vehicles complement your command vehicle for planetside or short-range operations. If you are playing with others, one of you might serve as the pilot or owner of a support vehicle, but anyone on board can use its abilities as appropriate to the situation.
As with the command vehicle, your support vehicles have integrity meters. The maximum integrity varies based on the type of vehicle. When a support vehicle faces a damaging situation or environment, you must Withstand Damage to see how it fares.

- When you make a forceful, damaging, or resistant move, you may (after rolling) replace the value of your action die with the rig’s integrity; if you do, Lose Momentum (-1).
- Your exosuit is equipped with thrusters. You can maneuver in zero-g, make thrust-assisted leaps, and drop to a surface from altitude. When you burn fuel to overcome a critical obstacle (decide after rolling), you may reroll any dice. If you do, Sacrifice Resources (-1).
