Anvil Pisces C8X Expedition
A special-edition Pisces built for exploration
The C8X Pisces Expedition is Anvil's special-edition pathfinder and compact shuttle. One pilot can carry two passengers, 4 SCU of supplies, and field equipment into landing areas where sending a larger ship would be unnecessary.

Compact pathfinder
A Carrack-ready scout for short expeditions
The C8X handles the short but important trips around a larger expedition: scouting a route, checking a landing site, carrying two passengers, and moving 4 SCU of equipment between ship and surface.
Built in an evolving universe
The Pisces C8X Expedition is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.7.2. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Pathfinder essentials
A small ship for the final leg
Seats, cargo space, easy access, and a compact footprint make the C8X useful wherever the main ship is too large for the job.
01
4-SCU cargo hold
The rear hold carries expedition supplies, field equipment, personal gear, or a small delivery without crowding the seats.
02
Two passenger jump seats
A pilot can move two passengers between a carrier, station, and landing site without committing a larger transport.
03
Compact carrier footprint
The Pisces fits inside ships such as the Carrack and remains small enough for tight landing areas and short surface transfers.
04
Pathfinder cockpit
Straightforward flight and navigation systems support route scouting, landing-site checks, and everyday shuttle work.
05
Expedition finish
The C8X pairs the practical Pisces layout with the distinctive Anvil Expedition livery and presentation.
06
Quick boarding
The rear ramp gives passengers and equipment a simple route into the cabin for frequent shuttle trips.
Defining feature
Three seats and 4 SCU in a compact hull
The C8X carries a pilot, two passengers, and 4 SCU while remaining compact enough to serve as a practical shuttle aboard a larger exploration ship.

Plan
Choose the route and landing site
Check distance, surface conditions, and the equipment the passengers will need before leaving the carrier.
Scout
Inspect the area before landing
Use the C8X to check local hazards and confirm that the landing site is suitable for the team.
Land
Put the team close to its work
Set down where the passengers can unload safely without a long walk from the ship.
Return
Carry everyone back to the carrier
Load the team's equipment and any recovered items into the 4-SCU hold before the return flight.

04Distinctive Expedition livery
