The exceptions are the [[The Praxis]], which starts with some materials, and Shipyard, which starts the game in a system with a shipyard. A few [[crew member]]s in [[space suit]]s arrive via [[shuttle]] in the first few moments of the game, and it is up to the player to turn this vessel into a functioning ship.
