What to know
The Origin X1 Force adds shields and a forward Size 1 gun to the sculpted single-seat gravlev platform. It preserves the X1's compact proportions and precise surface control while giving the rider more protection for exposed or unpredictable routes.
X1 Force specifications
The defensive X1 variant
The X1 Force is not a full ground-combat vehicle. It is a fast personal gravlev with the protection and light armament needed when an ordinary touring route becomes more dangerous than expected.
More protection for the X1
Shields distinguish the Force from the standard X1, while the integrated gun provides a direct response to a nearby threat. The rider still depends on speed, control, and a small profile rather than heavy armor.
Development note: The X1 Force is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.22.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
The X1 Force's specialist changes
A shield generator and forward gun add protection to the X1's precise gravlev handling, integrated thrusters, and compact carrier-friendly form.
Unique to hover bikes, the X1 Force is designed with shields to specifically take on more dangerous routes.
The X1 Force integrates this equipment into the bodywork so it remains part of the vehicle's working profile rather than an exposed add-on.
The X1 Force keeps Origin's sculpted profile while adding the protective equipment expected from the more defensive model.
Vehicle dimensions and loading clearance matter when choosing a carrier.
Clear views around the vehicle help the operator judge obstacles and uneven ground.
The shielded package unique to the X1 Force
The Force adds shielding and one Size 1 gun to the compact X1 platform. The rider gains a defensive margin on exposed routes without turning the vehicle into a heavy combat machine or giving up its precise gravlev handling.
Shielded defensive package
Shields give the rider more time to cross a dangerous area or react to an unexpected threat.
The forward weapon can answer a nearby threat, but the X1 Force remains a light personal vehicle rather than a ground-combat platform.
Precise gravlev control and a compact profile remain the vehicle's strongest way to avoid trouble and reach the destination.
Gravlev Runabout in action
The X1 Force uses the shielded defensive package beyond the landing zone while the operator manages terrain, payload, and the return to the carrier.
-
Choose terrain the X1 Force can cross safely
The operator checks terrain, distance, obstacles, and turning space before the X1 Force leaves the ramp.
-
Use the shielded defensive package across the terrain
The X1 Force's operator plans the route, payload, and return to the carrier around the limits of the shielded defensive package.
-
Put the X1 Force to work on arrival
The operator keeps the X1 Force accessible and positioned for the work the team came to perform.
-
Keep a clear route back to the carrying ship
Aboard the X1 Force, range, terrain, and the carrier's next movement should be considered before the ground party leaves the landing zone.
Origin gravlev travel with a defensive edge
The Force suits riders who want the X1's finish and response but expect to cross routes where shielding and a light weapon are worth carrying.
A forward Size 1 gun gives the X1 Force a direct defensive option on dangerous surface routes.
The X1 Force's Alberto Vara styling combines a modern finish with details drawn from earlier designs.
The X1 Force uses its ground clearance and control response to cross terrain beyond the carrier's landing point.
The X1 Force uses its small carrying capacity for the person, supplies, or gear needed beyond the ship.
Operating the X1 Force on the surface
The operator balances terrain, load, vehicle condition, and the distance back to transport.
Plan the carrier and surface route together
The X1 Force uses its shielded defensive package away from the ramp while the operator manages visibility, traction, nearby people, and carrier access.
The operator plans the X1 Force's surface leg around visibility, grades, obstacles, and a practical place to turn or stop.
The X1 Force's operator uses the shielded defensive package to deliver people or equipment across terrain the carrier should not have to cross.
On the X1 Force, range, damage, and changing terrain still matter after arriving at the destination.
