Starfield Builds: Celestia

Celestia

Introduction

The Celestia is a B-class multi-purpose vehicle. It is a competent fighter, cargo transport, and passenger ship all at once. I don't remember which ship I built it from, but the Fuel Tank is beyond the character's Ship Design skill. It was most certainly a pirate ship of some sort, with "pirate" meaning any of the antagonistic factions out there.

The Celestia is greatly inspired by the Galaxy-class Freighter from the Wing Commander: Privateer game from a couple of decades past. That ship had much more narrow engine nacelles and they were mounted on thin rails. I think that this ship captures the overall feel of the Galaxy-class within the Starfield universe.

 

Head-canon Lore

The Celestia is a Galactic-class civilian transport built by the Deimos Staryard in the Sol system. The Galactic-class is a sleeper favorite of explorers, bounty hunters, and other adventurers who roam the galactic highways.

 

General Overview

The Celestia is truly a Jack-of-All Trades ship. A dedicated warship would have more weapon systems and maneuverability. A cargo carrier would load up on more cargo space. As is, it is designed for a character who is just starting to expand from basic A-class ships into the B-class and the first point in Ship Design.

The placement of the Slim Docker and modules gives it a single ladder column, not counting the landing bay at the rear of the ship. It is pretty easy to navigate. I included the ability to have some addition Crew stations, as well as a fair bit of passenger space as well.
