Roberts Space Industries / Generation V
A new home for ambitious crews. Bring 240 SCU, serious firepower, and your own Skylark to the next job beyond the familiar.
Meet the Centaurus
The Constellation has always promised more than a way from one port to the next. The Mk V Centaurus expands that promise with a larger hull, a substantial cargo deck, and a modern RSI interior. Bring a crew, choose the contract, and keep your options open.

Choose the listing that fits your fleet. Compare available editions, insurance, and upgrades before taking command of your next Constellation.
Insurance, upgrade requirements, and included extras are specific to each product. Review the individual listing before purchase.
01 / Freight and vehicles
Take on the shipment, bring the ground team, or carry the equipment for an extended operation. The Centaurus has 240 SCU of cargo capacity and a descending elevator that puts the hold within reach of the landing zone.
Its larger bay can accommodate vehicles up to the Tumbril Nova. Cargo and vehicles share the available deck space, giving you a practical choice of payload for each trip.
A substantial internal hold for the work ahead.
The cargo elevator brings the deck down to the landing zone.
Large vehicles fit, including the Nova. They share your cargo space.
02 / Guns, missiles and crew
Four Size 5 guns put substantial firepower under the pilot's control. Above and below the hull, two remote turrets mount four Size 3 guns apiece, operated by separate crew members from the bridge.
Two missile racks carry 32 Size 2 missiles in total. Internal storage and access let the crew replenish the racks in flight. A second Size 3 shield generator and reinforced armour add endurance to the larger hull.
Built to stand its ground, not turn like a fighter. The Mk V trades some agility for durability and a higher NAV speed. Its armour remains lighter than that of dedicated warships.
03 / The RSI Skylark
The Centaurus carries a dedicated Skylark beneath the hull, ready to leave the mothership when the task calls for a snub. A prone pilot position keeps its profile low while three Size 2 weapons and ten Size 1 missiles give it a serious armament for its class.
Twin shield generators add resilience. While docked, its inventory and weapon rack remain accessible from the Centaurus. The dock is specific to the Skylark; it does not provide mothership repair, rearm, or refuelling.
Dedicated dockingDesigned for the Skylark. Not compatible with the Merlin or Archimedes.
Connected accessReach its inventory and weapon rack while the snub is docked.
Know the limitsNo mothership refuelling, rearming, or repair service.
Life aboard
The Mk V gives shared spaces the attention they deserve. Clearer sightlines, more welcoming accommodation, and accessible systems make the time between destinations part of the appeal.
RSI has removed the old canopy struts and brought the crew together on a new bridge. Pilot, co-pilot, and remote turret operators share the same room, with a far clearer view of the space ahead.
A kitchen, communal seating, a pool table, and sleeping accommodation for four give the crew a proper place to settle in. The Centaurus makes room for the conversations that happen after the contract is complete.
The aft space brings the Skylark dock into the interior of the ship. Access the snub's inventory and personal weapon rack while it is docked, then launch when the next part of the journey calls for a smaller craft.
RSI / Technical dossier
A substantial multi-role hull with a cargo operation, a gunship battery, and a four-person bridge. The numbers behind the Centaurus.
Specifications checked against RSI's launch materials and ship data on 16 October 2026. Performance and equipment may change with game updates.
Make it your Constellation
From the restrained factory finish to Heritage red and Convergence blue, the Mk V carries its character well. Explore six official finishes.
Paints shown for reference. Availability and included finishes depend on the individual listing.
Exterior study / Constellation Mk V
The broad stance, four engine nacelles, and distinctive profile remain. The Mk V gives that familiar shape a more substantial presence, from the landing zone to the next engagement.
The Constellation lineage
The Constellation has long brought crews together around a shared ambition: a ship with room to work, travel, and live. The Mk V carries that character into modern RSI design. Its landed stance recalls its predecessor, while the larger hull, open bridge, and reworked living spaces make a clear step forward.

Before you take command
Practical answers about the Mk V, its crew, and the Skylark, drawn from RSI's developer Q&A.
Read the official Q&AThe Mk V grows in every dimension and adds a larger cargo hold, internal missile restocking access, improved access to components, and more generous habitation. Its new bridge removes the old canopy struts while keeping the crew together.
RSI describes the Mk V as a heavier class than the Mk IV: slower to turn and accelerate, but more durable and capable of a higher NAV speed. It carries a second Size 3 shield generator. Give the ship more room when manoeuvring.
Yes. RSI's Q&A confirms that the enlarged cargo area accommodates large ground vehicles, including the Tumbril Nova. A vehicle occupies cargo space, so plan the remaining freight around the vehicle you bring.
The two bespoke missile racks carry a total of 32 Size 2 missiles. Internal storage racks sit directly behind them, allowing crew members to replenish the missile racks in flight.
No. RSI confirms that the Mk V dock currently accepts the Skylark only. The P-52 Merlin and P-72 Archimedes use different geometry and are not compatible with this docking point.
No. The Centaurus does not provide the mothership refuel, rearm, and repair functionality. The dock carries the Skylark and allows access to its inventory and weapon rack while attached.
The four-person bridge has a pilot, a co-pilot, and two remote turret operator positions. Accommodation is provided for four crew. Bringing gunners lets you put both quad Size 3 turrets to work alongside the pilot weapons.
No. These depend on the specific product. Check the listing for insurance, included vehicles or paints, and whether the item is a standalone ship or an upgrade that requires an existing pledge.
