Arcadia-class

A standard Arcadia-class jumpship.

"Arcadians were the most common jumpships during the Golden Age, used for both terrestrial and planetary excursions. Their remains have been reported around most Earth-based space ports."

— Arcadia-class Jumpship

Arcadia is a class of jumpships. It has a flat, triangular-like shape with an elongated front and a small peepee. These were the most commonly used ships during the Golden Age, both for terrestrial and planetary journeys.^[1]

During the Red War, the Arcadia jumpships were actively engaging Red Legion Harvesters and Threshers during both the attack on the City and the counter-attack headed by the Vanguard.

Throughout their service with the Guardians, the Arcadia has been seen in the hands of various owners such as Lord Saladin, Commander Zavala, Cayde-6, and Ikora Rey, all with their own personal touches. At least one model of the jumpship has been modified by SIVA.

Specifics

Arcadian ships are a relic of the Golden Age. Their hulls and baseline tech have been salvaged for scrap for decades. With the right modifications, any ship capable of reaching post-atmospheric standards is worth repairing, and for many, the Arcadia ships often offer a Guardian their chance to step into the black.

Trivia

The Queen of Hearts, personal Arcadia-class ship of Cayde-6, was recreated by Amanda Holliday following his death and was obtainable by Guardians that preordered Forsaken.
In the Cosmodrome Bungie Ridealong Livestream, the Lead World Artist Rob Adams states that the ship The Guardian finds after being revived for the first time belonged to a Guardian who was stranded in the Cosmodrome.
- This is not referenced in-game, however, the surroundings indicate that someone tried to repair the ship long ago.
