One of Humanity's oldest names in spaceflight.
Militia command corvette
RSI Polaris
RSI's long-range corvette brings capital-class authority to militia command, naval patrol, search and rescue, and precision strike operations. Fast, self-sufficient, and built around S10 torpedo power, the Polaris lets a disciplined crew protect contested space without waiting for a full fleet.
A capital combat ship built for patrol, militia command, and anti-capital strike work.
Compact for a capital vessel, large enough to carry serious support spaces.
Wide enough for a fighter bay, cargo paths, and defensive systems.
Capital corvette scale without frigate-class bulk.
Built for organized multi-crew operation.
Cargo capacity supports ordnance, vehicles, supplies, and reload workflows.
Four launch tubes with rotary feeders give the Polaris its capital-killer bite.
A large hangar able to re-arm and refuel heavy fighters. Including Scorpius!
Corvette briefing
Built for the modern fight
Built as both a naval patrol ship and a flagship for militia operations, the Polaris was selected for its rare combination of speed, small-craft support, crew facilities, and torpedo tubes that let it threaten targets above its own weight class.
Mission profile
First-response flagship
The Polaris answers the problem of dangerous frontier systems: a smaller alternative to Idris-class frigates that can patrol, escort, rescue, strike, and anchor a civilian defense group with serious capital-ship bite.
- Capital corvette manufactured by Roberts Space Industries for combat, patrol, and militia flagship duty.
- Four S10 torpedo launch tubes feed a total of 28 torpedoes for anti-capital strike work.
- A single small-craft hangar supports a light or medium fighter such as the RSI Scorpius.
- 576 SCU of cargo, a medical bay, brig, living spaces, and repair/refuel support keep the crew useful on longer patrols.
Operational profile
How the Polaris deploys
Command
Bridge, captain, pilot, co-pilot, turret, torpedo, tractor, and support stations divide a capital workload across a compact crew.
Firepower
Four torpedo launch tubes and rotary feeders give the ship its king-slayer identity, with reload access from the cargo hold.
Support
The onboard hangar lets a fighter launch, recover, refuel, and rearm while the mothership remains on station.
Endurance
576 SCU cargo capacity, crew habitation, a military-style med bay, and holding cells make it more than a torpedo boat.
Features
Power in your hands
The Polaris rewards an organized crew: torpedo operators, turret gunners, pilots, engineers, medical staff, cargo handlers, and fighter support all matter once a capital patrol turns hot.
KING SLAYER
Capital-ship killer
Four S10 torpedo launch tubes and a total of 28 torpedoes let the Polaris threaten ships far larger than itself.
HANGAR ABOARD
Bring support
A single onboard hangar supports a fighter such as the RSI Scorpius for escort, interception, and utility operations.
GO THE DISTANCE
Long-range crew life
Crew habitation, medical support, cargo capacity, and support spaces let the Polaris remain useful across extended patrols.
POINT DEFENSE
Keep threats off the hull
Seven point-defense cannons help screen the ship from incoming missiles, torpedoes, and smaller attackers.
CARGO AND RELOAD
576 SCU hold
The cargo hold supports supplies, vehicles, ordnance handling, and access to the torpedo feeder workflow.
MILITIA FLAGSHIP
Patrol command
Designed for Navy patrols and civilian militia operations, the Polaris can escort, strike, rescue, and secure contested space.

RSI visual archive
Polaris corvette gallery
The Polaris reads as RSI at capital scale: sharp geometry, broad utility spaces, clean military surfaces, and a silhouette that says fast-response command rather than ceremonial fleet centerpiece.
Unveiling destruction
Torpedo strike package
The Polaris is defined by sudden escalation: a corvette that can patrol quietly, launch a support fighter, then bring S10 torpedoes to bear against targets normally reserved for larger fleet assets.
Munitions
Long-range patrol
Torpedoes, missiles, turrets, PDCs, a fighter bay, and 576 SCU of cargo make the Polaris a compact capital combat platform with teeth, legs, and enough support space to stay useful after the first strike.

Manufacturer history
Inside Roberts Space Industries
Roberts Space Industries is one of Humanity's oldest names in spaceflight: founded on Earth, famous for quantum-drive breakthroughs, and still building practical ships that turn frontier ambition into operational reach.
Founded on Earth in 2038 by Chris Roberts, RSI became one of the companies that pushed Humanity from planetary aviation into interstellar civilization.
RSI's quantum-drive work helped make practical interstellar expansion possible, giving the brand a mythic place in Human industry.
RSI spans starter ships, exploration craft, constellation-scale workhorses, and capital vessels, giving the Polaris a direct lineage from practical civilian utility to military command.

Origin story
From Earth industry to the stars
Roberts Space Industries was founded on Earth in 2038 by Chris Roberts, long before the UEE frontier became the familiar map of modern pilots. Its early identity was built around practical aerospace ambition: solve the hard problem first, then make it repeatable.
That philosophy became legendary when RSI helped unlock practical interstellar expansion through quantum-drive development. The Polaris inherits that same plainspoken confidence: not ornamental, not precious, but engineered to put crews where the mission demands.
Utility before theater
RSI ships tend to look like tools because that is the point. The brand's strongest silhouettes are readable, modular, and built around work: cargo routes, crew stations, component access, and enough structure to make distant operations feel routine.
Back in the patrol line
The Polaris was selected as a smaller first-response alternative to Idris-class frigates: a corvette with enough speed, torpedo power, and support capability to screen larger fleet movements or lead civilian defense groups.
Militia command, public hands
The Militia Mobilization Initiative made the Polaris legible to Citizens as more than a Navy asset. It is a flagship for organized groups that need patrol, interdiction, rescue capacity, and deterrence in one disciplined platform.
Why it matters for Polaris
Polaris is RSI practicality at capital scale.
The Polaris makes sense because RSI has always sold capability before ceremony. It compresses the jobs of a much larger fleet element into a corvette that can move quickly, host a fighter, care for its crew, reload ordnance, and decide when a patrol becomes a strike.
Modern footprint
From starter hulls to capital command
Modern RSI spans the Aurora, Constellation, Scorpius, Perseus, Polaris, and other ships that make the brand feel less like one niche and more like a spine running through Human spaceflight.
The Polaris sits at the severe end of that family: still practical, still crewed around function, but armed with the kind of torpedo package that changes how everyone else reads the battlefield.
