Ground Operations
The team movement behind the Spartan
The Spartan carries an eight-person squad through exposed ground under heavy armor. Eight jump seats with individual weapon racks, several side exits, a rear ramp, internal equipment storage, and a small defensive turret support rapid deployment without turning the vehicle into a front-line tank.
Built in an evolving universe
The Spartan is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.15.1. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Ground systems
The Spartan's deployment package
The Spartan combines the eight protected squad seats, multiple exits, and armored hull with protected seating, clear exits, and the systems needed to bring the team home.
Passenger Transport
Eight secure jump seats are outfitted inside a fully armored hold.
Defensive turret on the Spartan
A dual size-2 turret for fending off targets that get too close.
Securing cargo in the Spartan
The Spartan has a 1-SCU internal storage, with a 0.5 SCU storage locker and dedicated gun rack near the pilot's seat. Each of the eight jump seats also includes a separate gun rack.
Spartan's cabin organization
The Spartan keeps seats, equipment, and the route to each exit clear before the team reaches the landing zone.
Personal equipment on the Spartan
Weapon and gear storage lets the people aboard the Spartan prepare without carrying loose equipment through the cabin.
Defining feature
An armored cabin for an eight-person squad
The Spartan carries eight equipped troops through exposed terrain in a fully armored hold. Individual weapon racks, two side exits, a rear ramp, equipment storage, and a small defensive turret support a quick deployment without turning the transport into a front-line tank.
Why it matters
Eight jump seats, several exits, and heavy ground protection
8Squad seats
2Side exits
RampRear access
Heavy armorProtection
Eight jump seats and individual weapon racks keep each passenger's equipment close before the vehicle leaves cover.
The Spartan is meant to carry troops through danger, not remain in place and trade fire like a tank.
Several exits let the squad spread toward cover instead of waiting for one narrow route out of the hold.
Load, cross, deploy, recover
Deployment aboard the Spartan
The Spartan succeeds when the people aboard can deploy ready, use the eight protected squad seats, multiple exits, and armored hull for protection, and return through a planned pickup route.
Load
Brief everyone aboard before the doors open
Aboard the Spartan, the squad should know who leaves first and where it is going before the armored doors close.
Cross
Balance cover, access, and time on the ground
On the Spartan, the approach should minimize time on the ground while keeping a clear deployment path.
Deploy
Deliver the squad to the drop point
For the Spartan, before departure, the team reviews how the eight protected squad seats, multiple exits, and armored hull will support deployment and pickup.
Recover
Give the deployed team a credible way home
The Spartan can provide cover, move casualties, or return for extraction instead of disappearing after the first drop.
