SPACE Fleet — Inspired by Cosmic Raven / Yéil
Raven Space Yacht
Beyond the Sky. The Stars Await.
In Tlingit oral tradition, Raven stole the stars and scattered them across the sky. The Raven Space Yacht follows that ancient path — a true interstellar vessel capable of Mars transit and beyond. Catalyzed fusion propulsion provides the sustained thrust needed for interplanetary travel, while basalt composite construction withstands the extreme conditions of space. This is humanity's finest vessel, honoring the first star-traveler.

Catalyzed Fusion Power
Dual advanced catalyzed fusion reactors provide both continuous thrust and ship power. The propulsion system accelerates hydrogen plasma through a magnetic nozzle at near-relativistic exhaust velocities. The reactor pair enables continuous 1G acceleration for passenger comfort during the 72-hour Mars transit. Basalt composite reactor shielding provides radiation protection superior to any metal alloy.
Tlingit Design Inspiration
Raven who scattered the stars is the ultimate inspiration. The yacht's raven-wing solar arrays span 120 meters, collecting energy even in deep space. The hull's formline patterns glow with internal bioluminescent circuits — visible from orbit like a constellation given form. The bridge features a traditional Tlingit longhouse layout, acknowledging that even among the stars, the culture endures. The transformation from atmosphere to vacuum operation mirrors Raven's shapeshifting.
