As part of Star Citizen’s in-universe event, Invictus Launch Week, players are invited to tour small sections of an in-use Javelin Destroyer used by the United Empire of Earth (UEE) Navy. To be more specific lore-wise, this is the UEES War Hammer. This is the first time that the Aegis Javelin capital-size ship has been tourable in-game in any form, and coming in at a length of approximately 480m, is easily the biggest ship in-game.
Players are able to pledge towards acquiring their own Aegis Javelin, at a whopping price of between $2,700 – $3,000 USD via quantity-limited sales. Alternately, there should be ways of acquiring the craft in-game, but expect it to be a hard-to-acquire end-game craft.
Not able to make it onto Star Citizen in the coming days, or perhaps just missed out on the tour? You can enjoy a few screenshots I took below:
In development by Cloud Imperium Games and their studios across North America and Europe, Star Citizen is being helmed by Wing Commander (1990s) creator Chris Roberts. The game has currently been in a long-term alpha phase with no confirmed release date. Despite this, the studio has raised more than $350 million USD through on-going crowdfunding. Please keep in mind should you decide to purchase towards Star Citizen, that this is an incomplete project and that you are pledging towards an extended crowdfunding campaign with no 100% guarantee of a finished product.
