StarCitizen:R.A.P.T.O.R

The StarCitizen:Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern R.A.P.T.O.R (Reclamation and Personal Transportation of Rubbish) is a cleaning vehicle that started as an April Fool's joke before becoming earnable as a referral reward.

It stands as the paramount tool in the battle against waste. The galaxy we inhabit is in a deplorable state of filth and grime. The accumulation of waste and refuse from the inhabitants of this vast expanse is overwhelming and seemingly never-ending. It is evident that heroic individuals are required to step up and address this dire situation. These heroes must be willing to confront the mess head-on, to immerse themselves in the dirt and grime, and to restore cleanliness to the galaxy. Hence, the creation of the R.A.P.T.O.R was specifically designed for individuals like you. With the R.A.P.T.O.R at your disposal, a pristine and gleaming future is within reach. There is no time to waste. Take action now and embark on the mission to cleanse the galaxy of its impurities.<ref name="presentation">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Development

With players datamining game files all the time, CIG decided to put fake data in the game files to be mined as part of patch 3.22.1 in February 2024, fostering speculation, which was later revealed to be the rubbish vehicle as an April Fool's joke.<ref>"Oh man a file leak from CIG showed off the name of a secret new ship they're developing", @ItsHowbrick, Twitter, Apr 1, 2024</ref> Nevertheless, in May 2025 Zyloh answered a reddit post where a player said he was waiting for it with "Be careful what you wish for... ;)" and in July 2025 the Raptor became earnable as part of the new referral program despite being still in development and to be delivered at a later date.<ref>"Be careful what you wish for... ;)", u/CaptainZyloh, reddit, May 15, 2025</ref><ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Trivia

Anyone who tried to purchase the vehicle or paints on the presentation page was brought to another page advising them that it was a StarCitizen:Triggerfish joke and that they have received a 'Swept Away' title badge for their profile.
