Starfield Build: Star Vault

 

Nova Galactic Vault-Tec: Star Vault

 

Introduction

Okay, @Mtfreeman (on the Starfield Anonymous Discord) made a passing comment about making a Vault-Tec space vault. Here is my answer to that comment (he never made it an official challenge). I give you the Star Vault. 

My operating hypothesis is that Vault-Tec got a hold of some Zetan technology and did their absolute best to duplicate form and function within the scope of then current technology. They paired up with the Nova Galactic in their version of reality to create the most powerful ship that they could and put aboard a  small compliment of Vault occupants.

Head Canon/Lore

In the spirit of the malleable Fallout canon, this ship is equipped with anachronistic Engines, Reactor, Grav Drive, Weapons, and Shield. It's insidious experiment was to test the occupants' ability to adapt by Grav Jumping once every 24 Standard/Earth hours to a random star.

The very few occupants exited the Star Vault after a few of these random jumps nearly led to disaster and formed a small, now abandoned and desolate colony. The Star Vault, however, kept jumping until it was out of fuel. It remained in orbit of Heinlein 4B until it was discovered by a salvage team. Excited about finding such an interesting pre-exodus ship, the fuel tanks were restocked. The salvage team has not been heard from since. 

 

Paint

The Star Vault uses two colors. One is a custom blue and the other is the standard orange. The cursor points to the orange color, while the blue is in the Hue, Saturation, and Brightness sliders.

Assembly

Undercarriage reference

Starting with the Structural Layer, select everything and drag it over so that it connects to the top of the Upper Deck. The Engine Struts should rest on the forward, top of the Cargo Hall.

Group select the combined Upper Deck and Structural Layer and drag it over to the Main Deck. The Cargo Hall should rest directly on top of the Mess Hall.

Select everything on the Undercarriage Layer. Drag it over so that the Landing Bay connects to the aft connection point of the Infirmary
