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."

— Ship description

The Arcadia-class jumpship.

The Arcadia-class Jumpship is the first ship obtained by new Guardians. It is a standard model of the Arcadia class of Jumpships.

The ship is first retrieved by the Guardian shortly after their first resurrection in the mission A Guardian Rises, found in Dock 13 in the Cosmodrome. It requires an NLS Drive, found in the Story mission Restoration, to breach the atmosphere.

It is also in Destiny 2.

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

• In the "Arms and Armament" booklet included in the collector's edition of Destiny two pages detail various modifications and specifics for the Arcadia-Class.
  • One of the pages houses a hidden emblem code for the original Destiny.
• 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.
