Move people and cargo across the surface

Rear jump seats carry four passengers and fold away when the 2-SCU cargo grid is needed. The enclosed body protects occupants from the environment, while all-wheel drive and front steering help the rover continue beyond prepared roads.

The practical rover carried by serious explorers

The Ursa is not luxurious and does not need to be. It gives an away team a protected ride, practical storage, light defensive fire, and a proven footprint that fits several expedition ships.

Development note: The Ursa Rover is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.0.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

The systems behind the Ursa Rover

The Ursa Rover earns its carrier space through the protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid, enough range for the planned ground route, and straightforward recovery at the ramp.

2-SCU cargo grid

Folding the rear seats opens space for up to 2 SCU of supplies, equipment, or recovered material.

Six-wheel all-terrain drive

In-wheel drive and front steering provide dependable mobility across rough planetary surfaces.

Twin Size 1 remote guns

A roof turret gives the driver a light defensive option around an expedition or landing site.

Carrier footprint on the Ursa Rover

Check both bay dimensions and loading access before assigning the vehicle to a carrier.

Operator visibility on the Ursa Rover

Good visibility helps the driver avoid people, cargo, and rough ground.

The Ursa passenger and cargo cabin

Rear jump seats carry an away team inside the enclosed rover rather than exposing them on an open platform.

Four-passenger cabin

Deploy Clear the cargo bay efficiently

Start the Ursa Rover's ground route from a clear, recoverable landing point.

Cross the terrain Cross the terrain with the Ursa Rover

Use the protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid within the grip, clearance, visibility, and range available to the Ursa Rover.

Recover Check the Ursa Rover before the next trip

Keep enough range and vehicle condition after using the protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid to return to the carrier.

Carry the away team beyond the landing zone

The Ursa carries four passengers or 2 SCU of cargo across terrain the parent ship cannot reach. Its enclosed cabin protects the team, while the remote turret provides light defensive fire during the surface trip.

  1. Land where the Ursa can unload and drive clear

    The carrier lands where the Ursa Rover can unload safely and still reach the destination across suitable terrain.

  2. Carry the payload to its destination

    The Ursa Rover's operator keeps the protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid usable across difficult ground and through the return leg.

  3. Put the Ursa Rover to work on arrival

    The Ursa Rover should arrive with passengers safe, cargo secure, and enough range to return to the carrier.

  4. Plan the return drive before leaving the landing zone

    On the Ursa Rover, range, terrain, and the carrier's next movement should be considered before the ground party leaves the landing zone.

Ursa Rover's surface equipment in detail

The Ursa Rover uses its protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid after the carrier ramp comes down, with terrain, payload, and recovery shaping the work away from the ship.

01 Protected enclosed body

The cabin separates passengers and cargo from weather, atmosphere, and common surface hazards.

02 Expedition-ship compatibility

The Ursa is a standard companion to ships such as the Carrack and Constellation Aquila and fits other suitable garages.

03 Ursa Rover terrain access

The Ursa Rover uses its ground clearance and control response to cross terrain beyond the carrier's landing point.

04 Payload aboard the Ursa Rover

Passengers, supplies, and personal equipment stay protected and accessible when the Ursa Rover reaches the destination.

One driver manages the route, passengers, and return

The driver chooses terrain the rover can cross, keeps passengers or cargo secure, and preserves enough vehicle condition to return to the carrier.

Unload the Ursa Rover ready to work

The Ursa Rover uses its protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid away from the ramp while the operator manages visibility, traction, nearby people, and carrier access.

Terrain Match the route to clearance and traction

Reading the terrain before departure keeps the Ursa Rover from spending its range or payload on a route it cannot finish.

Task Unload the Ursa Rover ready to travel

For the Ursa Rover, terrain and access at the destination determine how the crew puts the protected four-passenger cabin and 2-SCU cargo grid to work.

Recovery Bring the Ursa Rover back before the route closes

Aboard the Ursa Rover, range, damage, and changing terrain still matter after arriving at the destination.
