}}{{Note|'''Note:''' Prospective pilots should be aware the C8 is inferior to its premium version, the [[StarCitizen:C8X Pisces]].}}

The '''C8 Pisces''' is a small pathfinding scout ship developed by [[StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace]]. It was initially introduced alongside the [[StarCitizen:Carrack|Anvil Carrack]] and was specifically engineered for tasks such as scouting, reconnaissance, and exploring areas that are unreachable by its significantly larger counterpart. Its compact design, agile handling, and the inclusion of two extra jump seats for additional passengers, along with a cargo capacity of up to 4 SCU, render the C8 Pisces an excellent choice for a runabout vehicle.

==Trivia==
*The C8 Pisces is named after the zodiac constellation of "Pisces" which located in the Northern celestial hemisphere. Its prominent [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/asterism asterism], recognized in many European cultures since Greco-Roman times, depicts a pair of fish linked by a single cord that converges at a point. The constellation's traditional astronomical symbol is ♓︎ and its name derives from the Latin word for "fishes." Pisces is situated to the northeast of Aquarius, which is of comparable size, and to the east of the smaller constellation Aries.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisces_(constellation)</ref>
