Concept Stages
The final concept of M50 is designed by the Origin junior designer Alberto Vara and engineer Javo Croy in 2918-07-13 SET.

Reveal
The first of the M Series Model 50 ships were unveiled at the Imperial Engineering Expo in 2920, in Prime, to a hesitant public. Constructed as a spiritual successor to Origin’s legendary X Sport, the first M50 was an attempt to reclaim Origin’s dominance on the racetrack. The public’s interest in their ship flagged, causing a slow and steady decline in sales.

Major redesign
"The 2944 M50 was designed with one goal in mind: Make the ship that will win the next Murray Cup. The surprising thing is, Origin may have just about done it."

- Jax McCleary

The story of the M50 is the story of adversity. The first of the M Series Model 50 ships were unveiled at the Imperial Engineering Expo in 2920, in Prime, to a hesitant public. Constructed as a spiritual successor to Origin’s legendary X Sport, the first M50 was an attempt to reclaim Origin’s dominance on the racetrack. The times, as the saying goes, had changed. Technical innovations and motivated manufacturing competitors made the competitive racing circuit an unforgiving place.

The engineers at Origin refused to capitulate. They took every defeat and setback as a challenge to iterate and evolve. While they were able to create some of the most innovative design choices the astroengineering community had ever seen, the public’s interest in their ship flagged, causing a slow and steady decline.

As the M50’s 25th anniversary approached, Origin Jumpworks felt that Humanity had finally caught up with their ship. They did not want to simply release ‘another’ version of the same old ship. They wanted to challenge and excite. To capture the thrill and exhilaration that only a high-performance ship can bring. To show their commitment, they pursued daring and visionary engineers scattered across the industry and gave them one of the most inspiring and terrifying starting points: a blank canvas.

We were only given one rule: look to our past. Study Origin pioneers like Estella Holiday, the Lang Brothers, and Javo Croy. See what inspired them, both creatively and personally, to find what drove them to make the choices that they made. This was to be our guide to build the future.

The 2945 M50 is the future. Of that, we have no doubt. From the engine housing to the contours of the hull, this ship is the culmination of tireless discussion and iteration. Our designers looked at every detail, every bolt, and ask ‘why.’ The result wasn’t the M50 that we imagined it would be; it became the ship it had to be.
