Spaceship

This article might have further canon details available on StarfinderWiki. |
A spaceship is a type of vehicle, and is in some instances a living creature, designed to travel the vast distances between planets or stars. While rarely seen on Golarion outside of crash sites in Numeria and elsewhere, some spaceships have passed through—and even frequently fly within—its solar system, and in exceptionally rare cases have been launched from Golarion itself into space.
