Battleship/en



The Battleship is an orbital command centre for the team of Survival players that orbits the planet it is monitoring at all times. It serves as the base of operations for experienced players, providing supplies and refuge that may not be available on the planet below. The Battleship is also able to give aid and support while players are on the surface of the planet.

How to get onto the Battleship

Importance of the Battleship
