Template:Vehicle

The StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary Command module is a module with command capabilities for the StarCitizen:Caterpillar and the [[StarCitizen::Category:Drake Interplanetary Ironclad|Ironclad series]] of ships by StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary.<ref name="CMQ&A">Template:Cite RSI</ref> It steers the ship when it's attached, and serves as an escape pod as well.<ref name=":1">Inside Star Citizen: Ironclad is Rad, Star Citizen, Youtube, May 23, 2024</ref> It can be separated from the rest of the ship and be flown independently, then dock back.<ref name=":0">Star Citizen Live: Ship Showdown Q&A, Star Citizen, Youtube, Aug 21, 2025</ref> It's designed for emergencies and is not intended to be used as a primary ship.<ref name=":1" /><ref>Reverse the Verse: September 25th, 2015, Star Citizen, Youtube, Sep 26, 2015</ref>

It enables the player to forsake their ship and cargo, thereby ensuring their own safety when faced with peril, which becomes significant in relation to StarCitizen:death mechanics and their subsequent penalties.<ref name=":1" /> When docking back, it takes back control of the whole ship.<ref name=":0" />

There are currently no plans to have different command modules per ship.<ref>Star Citizen: Reverse the Verse - July 1st, 2016, Star Citizen, Youtube, Jul 1, 2016</ref>
