The Naiad is one of Helios's signature themed builds. The exterior reads as flowing water — curved hull panels, blue-glass observation strips along the belly, no hard chines anywhere on the silhouette.
Inside, the deck plates are arranged in a soft spiral. The bridge sits at the center; everything radiates from it. It's not the most efficient ship in the catalog but it is, by a margin, the most cohesively themed.
Naiads in Greek myth were the spirits of fresh water — rivers, springs, fountains. The ship borrows that idea: the hull lines never quite settle, the lights shift between two amber tones depending on system load.
Helios has said in Discord that this ship is the one they'd take if forced to fly only one of their builds for a year.

Click Order This Corvette and the Ferryman dispatches immediately. A short in-flight checklist appears — friend-code the bot, set multiplayer to "Anyone," be at one of the three handshake spots (a Space Station, the Anomaly, or your Freighter), and park your starter corvette nearby. Hit Ready when you're in position. The bot joins your session within seconds and builds the corvette live in front of you. Total time is typically about a minute.
If the Ferryman is busy with another delivery or offline for a moment, you'll see a quick retry timer instead — no queue, no waiting list. Click Retry when prompted.
Reminder: save your game once delivery completes. Until you save, the corvette exists only in your session and will not persist.
