In Scum and Villainy, your ship gets its own "character sheet", earns XP, upgrades, and levels up alongside the characters. As you advance the crew, you unlock new options and abilities for the scoundrels and pick a faction to back in the sector. Good luck out there!

May your ship fly true, and may your blasters never jam.
