SHIP SPOTLIGHT
POWER IN PRACTICALITY
Not every mission needs a warship. Sometimes what you need is something that starts, runs, hauls, and doesn't ask questions — and that's exactly what the Greycat UTV delivers. Freshly Flight Ready in Star Citizen, this compact two-seater from Greycat Industrial is built for the realities of planetary work: uneven terrain, tight timelines, and the kind of practicality that gets the job done without a lengthy preflight checklist.
The UTV slots neatly into Greycat's established reputation for ground-level toughness, joining a lineup of terrain-proven vehicles designed to operate where ships can't. Whether you're scouting ahead of a larger operation, shifting cargo across a landing zone, or just taking the scenic route across an alien surface, the UTV keeps the barrier to entry low and the utility high.
The Greycat UTV keeps its footprint intentionally small. Measuring 4 metres in length, 2.6 metres wide, and 2.2 metres tall, this vehicle is designed to fit where it needs to fit — whether that's inside a ship's cargo bay, down a tight canyon passage, or parked at the edge of a rocky outpost. At 2,500 kilograms, it's substantial enough to feel planted on rough terrain while remaining maneuverable where it counts.
The two-seat configuration keeps the crew lean and purposeful. A single operator can run the vehicle solo, with room for a second crew member when the mission calls for it — be that a co-pilot, a gunner, or simply someone along for the ride. There's no wasted space here, and no unnecessary complexity.
For a vehicle with no shields and a single cooler, the UTV doesn't leave its crew entirely at the mercy of the environment. A built-in weapons rack means personal armaments travel with you, giving the UTV a quiet degree of combat readiness that suits the kind of operations it's likely to find itself on — remote surface work where backup isn't always close.
The one SCU of cargo capacity is modest but purposeful. It's enough to carry a supply crate, move equipment between a landing zone and a worksite, or support a small team operating away from a ship. Combined with the weapons rack, the UTV slots naturally into supporting roles: advance scouting, perimeter runs, logistics support for ground teams working in contested or remote areas.
NOTE — The UTV carries no shield generators and does not support quantum travel. It is a purely ground-based vehicle and will not function as a standalone deep-space asset. Plan deployments accordingly — it needs a ship to get there first.
Greycat Industrial has always built for conditions that punish complexity. The ROC, the PTV, the Multi-Tool line — these are products designed to operate with minimal fuss and maximum reliability. The UTV follows that same philosophy without compromise. There's one power plant, one cooler, one fuel tank, and no quantum systems whatsoever. What it has is more than enough for what it's asked to do.
In a game increasingly built around planetary surfaces and multi-role ground operations, that kind of unpretentious utility has a quiet value all its own. The UTV isn't trying to be the most impressive thing on the pad — it's trying to be the most dependable thing in the field. For players who spend their time working the surface rather than the stars, it's a vehicle that earns its keep.
