Star Citizen ship: Origin 315p, pathfinder

The 315p is the 300 series’ exploration version: a more robust power plant and a custom scanning package designed by Chimera Communications.

📜 Its history

At launch in 2899, the 300 series had just one model, the 300i. Andreas Lang wanted entirely new models for each task, but Origin, stung by the prototype’s cost, preferred to borrow from RSI’s Aurora: a modular frame adapted into variants. By all accounts, that decision soured Lang on the project. The 315p came out in 2930 as a “pocket explorer”. Despite its odd nature, it proved reliable and won over small prospecting outfits, happy to have a dedicated ship that also offered comfort and style.
