The Starjammer was a highly advanced a fearless-class Shi'ar Dreadnought that acted as the mobile headquarters of the notorious band of space pirates, the Starjammers.

History

The Starjammer was stolen by a band of rebel space pirates formed by Corsair called the Starjammers, who have used the ship ever since. Over the decades, the Starjammers have periodically replaced it with newer upgraded models of Fearless-class Dreadnought, the latest model being a Starjammer Mark 2.

Schematics of Starjammer

There was a period during which the Starjammer was actually in the possession of the Skrulls after a group of Warskrulls had replaced the Starjammers, along with members of the Shi'ar government. During that period the Starjammer was used while the Warskrulls committed atrocities across the Shi'ar Galaxy. The X-Men eventually discovered the Skrull infiltration, after which they would liberated the ship, freed the imprisoned Starjammers as well as others, and saved the Shi'ar Empire.
