The [[Aegis]] '''Vulcan''' is a versatile support ship capable of refueling, repairing, and rearming other vessels. It is designed to provide support in scenarios including assisting friendly pilots pinned down by heavy fire and in need of ammunition, those low on quantum fuel after an ill-planned jump, or stranded in unknown space with a busted thruster.<ref name="shippage">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/vulcan/Vulcan|text=Vulcan - ship page}}</ref>

==Features==

{{List item
|Drones
|The Vulcan carries four [[BARD]] drones that can haul small amounts of fuel or ammo for friendly ships, or repair them with built-in tools. Two [[drones]] may be active at the same time, controlled at two manned support stations on the Vulcan. The other two drones are stored on the Vulcan unless needed for replacement or an alternate task.<ref name="qanda">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/engineering/16458-Q-A-Aegis-Vulcan|text=Q&A Aegis Vulcan}}</ref>

==Lore==
* The Vulcan was launched in [[2594]], commissioned by the UEE Navy after they requested proposals for a medium-sized support spacecraft. After a successful trial period, the UEEN promoted the ship into active service as its standard front-line support ship. It was active during the [[Second Tevarin War]] (2603 - 2610) and the [[Siege of Tiber]] (2732 - 2736). Since its introduction, it has been upgraded many times, and civilian models of the Vulcan have been offered to the public since the early [[27th century]].<ref name="galactapedia">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0qaJ8dOrgp-vulcan|text=Galactapedia: Vulcan|accessdate=2023-07-25}}</ref>
* The Vulcan is designed by famed Aegis Dynamics engineer [[Parnell Rowan]].<ref name="presentation">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/16419-Vulcan-VIP-Early-Bird|text=Vulcan Early Bird Transmission}}</ref>
* The ship is popular among the [[UEE Navy]] and civilian operators - such as [[CTR (franchise)|CTR]] - alike.<ref name="presentation"/>

==Development==
*The Vulcan was first introduced in 2018-02-15 with the [[Around the Verse]] episode. It was the first concept ship in 2018. It was developed as the starter ship for the refueling, repairing, and rearming professions as only huge ships that have substantial crew requirements and time requirements were developed at that time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-xa9j7xvws Star Citizen: Around the Verse - The Vulcan Hello] {{Transcript |url=around-the-verse-the-vulcan-hello}}</ref>
