Name variations: starship, spaceship

Often these have atmospheric flight capabilities, but not always. Some may have have warp capabilities, but - again - not always. Usually with minimal storage capacity and impressive armament.

Comparable to a car, speedboat, APC, small aeroplanes, or a bus. Modern space shuttles would be from very large end of this, bordering on medium sized spacecraft.

The first Small spacecraft video game was released in 1979.

LucasArts, Sega and Deep Silver published most of these games.
