Development
The Paul Steed was featured in the original Squadron 42 trailer in 2012. The vessel was originally conceived as the home ship for the StarCitizen:42nd Squadron.<ref name=":0" /> It is also mentioned in the first instalment of the StarCitizen:Void Rats stories, where it referred to simply as 'Steed'.<ref>Template:Cite Jump Point</ref>
Having not been mentioned since the early days of the project, it is not currently confirmed if the Paul Steed is still considered part of the canon of Star Citizen. Other significant changes have been made to the associated information. The role of home base for the 42nd Squadron appears to have since been transferred to either the UEES Krugeri or UEES Stanton. The vessel is said to be on mission in the "Vega Sector, Kurasawa System", terminology that does not match later development. While the "Vega Sector" appears in Wing Commander games,<ref>Wing Commander Wiki - Vega Sector (Retrieved 2021-05-06) https://wingcommander.fandom.com/wiki/Vega_Sector</ref> in the world of StarCitizen:Star Citizen the term relates to the StarCitizen:Vega system, there are no 'sectors', and the Kurasawa system (itself a reference to a favourite director of Narrative director StarCitizen:Dave Haddock<ref>Wikipedia - Akira Kurasawa (Retrieved 2021-05-06)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa</ref>) does not appear in contemporary maps of the verse.
The vessel was named for a former colleague of StarCitizen:Chris Roberts, the artist StarCitizen:Paul Steed.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
