Four hundred years ago, Aegis Dynamics introduced the Nautilus. Warfare has never been the same since. Through centuries of refinement, 2949's Nautilus is a paragon of strategic conflict and the first choice of combat engineers the universe over.
The Firestorm Kinetics Tephra homing mine is built to establish defensive boundaries. Once armed, it moves towards any hostile target within range. Once it reaches lethal proximity, it detonates with a devasting explosion.
The VLR-11 sentry mine’s primary role is perimeter defense. Upon deployment, the mine lays dormant until a hostile target enters its range. When activated, it will fire its equipped weapons with high accuracy.
The Nautilus is equipped with Saga Datasystems’ tailor-made NEMO Drones (Neutralize and Employ Mine Ordnance), which are specifically designed to safely identify, deactivate, and collect all mines compatible with the Nautilus platform.
The Nautilus is an expansive ship, encompassing an integrated mine-deployment system, drone-based minesweeping system, and full crew quarters and facilities. However, 400 years of iteration and refinement have made its massive hull feel conveniently intimate, with access and functionality at the forefront of its interior design.

400th Anniversary Merchandise
A limited edition bundle of commemorative merchandise is available to purchase.
Unique Serial Number
Every Warbond Nautilus hull is sequentially numbered according to production.
The Aegis Nautilus is introduced as a limited-time vehicle concept pledge. This means that the vehicle design meets our specifications but is not yet ready to display in your hangar or to fly in Star Citizen. The Warbond pledges shown here include Lifetime Insurance on the ship itself and a sequential serial number. In the future, the ship's price may increase and Lifetime Insurance or any extras may not be available.
If you are interested in adding one to your fleet, a quantity of Warbond Nautilus are available during this event. The Nautilus will be available in the pledge store for a limited time. You can also view a detailed schematic of this new ship in the Holo Viewer in the Tech Overview of the vehicle page.
As with every concept vehicle, we will be publishing a Q&A post. If you have additional questions, there will be a forum thread on Spectrum to take them. Be sure to vote for the questions you want to see answered. Look for the comm-link schedule next week to find out when the post will go up.
