Development

2019-11-23 Announced in CitizenCon 2019 under the provisional name Vehicle 2. It was planned as a multicrew cargo ship of Xi'an origin, and expected to have similar dimensions to Hull B or Freelancer MAX.[3]
2021-05-26 Hinted on the Gatac Manufacture article on Galactapedia after its update.[4]
2021-06-10 The name Railen was first revealed in the Inside Star Citizen tease on the official Instagram.[5]
2021-06-11 Early concept sale for Concierge backers.[6]
2021-06-12 Concept sale open to public.[1]
2023-05-26 Announced to be scheduled for production in 2024.[7]

  • A small Xi'an cargo ship to compete with the Freelancer MAX and Caterpillar, possessing a cargo capacity and weapon loadout placed between the two.
  • Produced by Gatac Manufacture.
  • The ship will be vertical, rather than horizontal - much like the other Xi'an capital and cargo ships designed and shown in concept art.
  • As one entity manufactures all Xi'an ships for a given role (one manufacturer makes all transport, one makes all light fighters, etc.), it stands to reason that they might all follow a loose template, so it would be nice for the ship to be vertically aligned.
