Starfieldallows you to explore the vast expanse of space by hopping from star system to star system. Of course, none of that would be possible without the spaceship you get to pilot around. You have plenty of options for how you travel around, whether you want to cruise in style, or go on adventures in a more pragmatic ship.

Bethesda has also crafted an intricate ship building mechanic that means you may build, nearly, whatever your heart desires. An important component for being able to do this is a little piece called the companionway.
