This Kickstarter-era Star Citizen account is a preserved slice of the game’s earliest history—created when the universe was still a promise and a pitch deck. As an Original Backer, this profile holds some of the most meaningful legacy rewards ever granted, from foundational early-backer perks to a broad suite of funding milestone collectibles that chart the game’s journey from modest idea to record-breaking project.
Although there are no ships and no game packages attached, this is a pure collector’s account. It’s ideal for someone who wants to build a modern fleet from scratch while keeping a rare, historically rich identity tied directly to the earliest days of Star Citizen.

Original Backer Status & Core Rewards
At the heart of this account is its Original Backer heritage, which comes with a highly coveted bundle of legacy perks granted to the earliest supporters.
Included in this bundle are:
-
AMX-1 Repair Bot – A small service drone flair item planned to function as an in-game repair assistant. It’s both an iconic hangar decoration and a future gameplay tool.
-
Record Breaker Ship Skin – A commemorative livery celebrating the moment Star Citizen became the most-funded game project in history at the time. It’s a permanent badge of “I was there when it happened.”
-
Squadron 42 Mission Disk – A promised additional story chapter (“Behind Enemy Lines”) for Squadron 42, to be delivered once the single-player campaign is released.
-
RSI Class II Space Suit (Test Pilot colors) – A distinctive early supporter suit that marks the account-holder as one of the original test pilots of the ‘verse.
-
Hangar Fees Reward (Free Hangar Fees) – A long-discontinued economic perk providing free hangar fees on the starting planet, reflecting the special treatment granted to the earliest backers.
These legacy rewards alone make the account historically significant; they’re no longer obtainable for new players and are deeply respected within the community.
Exclusive Collectibles & Event Flair
Funding Milestone Rewards – A Timeline of Star Citizen’s Growth
Beyond the core Original Backer perks, this account holds a broad collection of Funding Milestone stretch-goal rewards, each tied to a specific moment when the community pushed the project to a new funding landmark. From the $15M upgrades to the $56M components and beyond, these items collectively tell the story of Star Citizen’s rise.
Highlights from the milestone reward set include:
-
Upgrade & Knowledge Rewards
-
$15M – 42-page Upgrade Handbook (digital): A detailed manual explaining ship upgrades and component choices. It’s part in-lore guide, part archival artifact, perfect for players who enjoy tuning and theorycrafting their builds.
-
$19M – Jane’s Fighting Ships-style Manual (digital): An in-universe reference guide profiling ships in a format inspired by traditional naval compendiums. It doubles as both lore and a design snapshot of how the team envisioned Star Citizen’s fleet in the early days.
-
-
Signature Weapons & Components
-
$16M – Arclight Energy Pistol: A laser sidearm for all backers, echoing the Executive Arclight later seen in Concierge rewards. It marks your status as someone whose support helped unlock early combat gear.
-
$17M – “Mystery” Engine Modifier: A tuning kit for ship engines, rewarding early backers with performance-focused customization that reinforces the game’s simulation roots.
-
$47M – Engine Tuning Kit (MaxTune kit): Another dedicated engine modifier, reinforcing the idea that this account’s owner was there when detailed component tuning became a funded reality.
-
$55M – Preacher Armament Inquisition XXII Gatling: A size-2 ship-mounted Gatling gun, a brutal early backer reward weapon that’s become a piece of Star Citizen history in its own right.
-
$56M – J-Span “Cryo-Star” Cooler: A specialized cooling system, symbolic of the game’s move toward deep component-level engineering.
-
-
Decorative & Lore-Rich Hangar Items
-
$20M – Fish Tank and Midas Fish: A functional aquarium plus a golden fish, adding life and luxury to your hangar while marking the moment Star Citizen surged past the $20M milestone.
-
$23M – Takuetsu “Prestige” Khartu-al Model: A scale model of the Xi’an Khartu-al from the famed Takuetsu manufacturer—perfect for display in any hangar and beloved by collectors.
-
$49M – Centennial Bloom (Xi’an Space Plant): A rare Xi’an plant in an elegant pot, celebrating Xi’an–UEE ties and the project’s growing lore depth. This corresponds to the Xi’an Space Plant you see listed in the account’s hangar.
-
$52M – BB-12 Manned Maneuvering Unit: A personal EVA jetpack / maneuvering rig, reflecting the game’s commitment to detailed zero-G gameplay and immersion.
-
-
Major Milestone Commemoratives
-
$42M – UEE Towel & ExoGlas: The UEE Towel in this account is directly tied to the famous $42M milestone, referencing classic sci-fi culture and marking a historic funding point.
-
$100M – 2942 War Bond: This account includes a 2942 War Bond—part of the War Bond set commemorating the $100M milestone. It’s a hangar flair item representing Star Citizen’s transition from ambitious indie to major, fully-funded project.
-
$200M Milestone Coin (present in your hangar as the 200 Million Commemorative Coin): A prestigious in-universe coin celebrating the UEE’s bicentennial and Star Citizen reaching the monumental $200M funding mark.
-
Taken together, this account doesn’t just own “some flair”—it owns a curated timeline of Star Citizen’s funding history, spanning weapons, manuals, decorative pieces, and commemorative items that are no longer earnable for new players.
Anniversary & Convention Goodies
On top of the milestone rewards, the account includes key celebration packs:
-
Star Citizen Birthday Goodies Pack (2020)
A bundle of anniversary-themed flair granted during a major birthday event. These packs typically include decorations, cosmetics, and props that mark another year of development and community support, making them sentimental collectibles that won’t repeat in the same form. -
CitizenCon 2952 Digital Goodies Pack
A digital pack celebrating CitizenCon 2952, packed with event-themed items that reflect that year’s reveals, panels, and focus. These goodies serve as a snapshot of the game’s state and ambitions in 2952, and they only go to those active and engaged at that time.
Event & Seasonal Collectibles
This account also carries a selection of event-driven flair that further rounds out its collector profile:
-
Year of the Monkey, Ram, and Horse Envelopes – A trio of Lunar New Year red envelope collectibles, reflecting years of seasonal celebration in the ‘verse.
-
Best in Show ‘52 & 2954 BIS F8C Lightning Pennant – Ship Showdown and Best in Show memorabilia that showcase involvement in later community events and celebrations around standout ships.
These items show that the account wasn’t just there at the beginning—it stayed active through major events and celebrations across multiple years.
Why This Account Stands Out
✓ Kickstarter-era Origin Backer with legacy rewards no longer available
✓ Deep Funding Milestone collection from $15M through $100M+ including manuals, weapons, decor, and commemoratives
✓ Anniversary & CitizenCon packs, including the Star Citizen Birthday Goodies Pack and CitizenCon 2952 Digital Goodies
✓ Lunar New Year envelopes and Best in Show memorabilia, adding cultural and community depth
This account is more than just a login; it’s a chronicle of Star Citizen’s development, captured through decades of backer rewards and milestones. Owning it means inheriting a visible, permanent record of having “been there” for the project’s most important funding and celebration moments, even as you build an entirely new ship lineup of your own.
