Starship (a.k.a. interstellar spacecraft) are spacecraft designed to travel between star systems or galaxies.

History

We do not know at which point in history Humans developed starships, although they seem to exist by the early 21st century. (DW: Nightmare of Eden)

It is possible that the stunnel link between Earth and Arcturus stalled the invention of cost effective starships. (NA: Transit)

Starships can traverse these distances in two basic ways:

Starship which travel at or under the speed of light but put crew members in suspended animation.
