- The term normally refers to large, multi-purpose vessels, as opposed to vessels such as cargo ships, transports, warp shuttles, and runabouts, which are designed for more specific or limited functions.

* For notes on prefixes, see: Ship nomenclature
- Starships are a type of spaceship that has a jumpdrive. Not all ships have jump drives. Some of the Colonial ships without jump drives are seen during the Second Cylon War, when Colonial One had to jump away leaving them behind to be destroyed by the Cylons.
- Vessels which are not interstellar capable (i.e. interplanetary) are generally referred to as space ships. The terms "spacecraft", "starcraft", or even "vehicle" are used interchangeably. The term generally can be applied to any interstellar spacecraft, but is most frequently applied to the ships operated by the Federation Starfleet.
- By definition, a Starship is a space craft that can move at the speed of light or faster.
- ...in others words, it's something that makes you go. Except when used as a killing device. Anyone wonder why a "science exploration vessel" really needs quantum torpedoes? There are two types of starships. Those that kill, and those that get killed. The first type are very big, fast, and carry lots of "killing devices". The second type are........wait, why should I waste my time on them?
- Starships were essential to humankind's colonization of the known universe, and were critical to intergalactic transportation and communications for many millennia.
- In common usage, a starship is a space vessel capable of interstellar travel under its own power.
- The Chakra Drive is the most important part of a Starship. Without this component it will not work. Chakra alone is used to power the ship's systems and for Sub-light travel. However it requires use of External Chakra Particles to connect the ship to the universe's existence itself in order to use Faster Than Light speeds as a mode of travel.
- Starships are vessel that travel in space.
- Built by the Commonwealth in order to first investigate the Dyson Pair and then Scout ships and War ships were built to deal with the Prime situation. The drives of these ships are based on wormhole technology and can be detected by MorningLightMountain while still in their wormholes. Starships include the Second Chance, StAsaph, Conway, Langharne, Galibi, Dauntless, Defiant, Desperado, Defender, Moscow, London, Tokyo, Cairo, Baghdad and Dublin.
- This was a science fiction-themed BBS that was run from either Houston or Katy, Texas. Below is part of a thread from February, 1989 between three of its users.
- A starship (a.k.a. interstellar spacecraft) was a spacecraft designed to travel between star systems or galaxies.
- Pop rock band formed out of the remnants of Jefferson Starship. Known for their hit We Built This City, about their hometown San Francisco. The bridge features a radio broadcast mentioning the "City by the Bay" (San Francisco), the "City that Rocks" (Cleveland), and "The City That Never Sleeps" (New York).
- Starship es una banda estadounidense de música Rock y Pop, establecida en 1984 como una continuación de Jefferson Starship. Aunque el cambio en su estilo musical, la ausencia de personalidades importantes de Jefferson Starship y su nuevo nombre, le dieron una nueva identidad.
- Starship is an American rock band with roots dating back to the 1960's. Previous incarnations of the band were called Jefferson Airplane, and Jefferson Starship. Grace Slick sang vocals for all three versions of the band. Starship had three #1 singles in the 1980's: "We Built This City", "Sara", and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". The original recording of "We Built This City" can be heard in The Muppets, during a scene where the Muppets clean up The Muppet Theatre, in order to get it ready for The Muppet Telethon.

While most starships are equipped with a hyperdrive unit capable of travel between systems all over the galaxy, some vessels only possess sublight engines and as such cannot effectively travel farther than the range of their home system. Starships also come in a vast array of shapes and sizes, from single-occupant vessels, such as small freighters, couriers, starfighers, etc. up to capital ships designed to hold many thousands of occupants, including carriers, destroyers, dreadnoughts and more.
- Your starship acts as your character in Granduniverse, You may own only one at a time. When you decide to trade up all the equipment, cargo and the ship are sold at the price you payed for them. Transferring equipment from one ship to another is possible but is very turn consuming and expensive as each piece of equipment transferred loses 25 points. Once you have bought the new ship, it contains nothing at all unless you have transferred equipment. This allows you to buy what you want.
- Starships are OtherSpace's primary mode of transport over interstellar distances. Starships may be civilian ("civspec") or military ("milspec").
- Starships are vehicles from the Star Wars universe, used for interstellar travels.
- It is used for the sole purpose of taking down the giant comet, Nova, but also appears later in the remake during the battle against Kabula. The Starship itself resembles the basic layout of a Roman chariot, but without the wheels. However, it distinguishes itself with a star on the front and two long streamers serving as walls.
- Ships are the vehicles used for warfare, transportation, piracy, and personal travel through interstellar space. Such craft are the foundation of both modern commerce and war, and thus ships are generally considered in light of the two major classes of ship construction, freighters and . Of course, these are arbitrary distinctions and many ships can be considered as part of either class, depending on their outfitting. Governments are the major constructors of warships and naturally seek to exceed the capabilities of their opponents; this often results in an arms race.
- A Starship a space vehicle capable of intergallactic travel, and providing life support for all the passengers that reside in it. Size does not necessarily matter in these facts, although smaller craft are referred to as shuttles.
- A starship was a vehicle that travels in space. Starships were the main use of transportation in the universe. Besides from being able to fly in deep space, starships also could contain weaponry. For this reason, starships were commonly used in space combat.
- The Starship is from Paper Mario. It is used to get get from Star Haven to Bowser's Castle and back. When it is flying, some of the Toads of the Mushroom Kingdom think it's a shooting star. In the last cut scene of the game Mario's partners are shown riding the Starship as a parade float for the celebration.
- A Starship is used on various Science Fiction franchises to travel across the space. Some franchises include Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Stargate, Star Wars, and many others. In Science Fiction there are many ways a Starship can travel faster than light, some examples include: Warp-Drive, Hyper-Drive, Slipstream, or even Starburst. Faster than light propulsion systems were designed, so that Starships can travel across space in a reasonable time period. Sometimes faster than light propulsion is not possible, so other Starships are considered Generational, or Sleeper ships.
- In the Federation during the 22nd and 23rd centuries, spacecraft of the Starship-class were identified exclusively as vessels operated by Starfleet, or as stated by R.M. Merik, "a very special vessel and crew." (TOS: "Bread and Circuses" ) By the mid-24th century, though, the exclusivity of the term "starship" essentially fell out of use, and was redefined as a term interchangeable with "spaceship" and "spacecraft". (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager) Starships were often referred to as female. (TOS: "Charlie X" , et al.)
- For many decades, starships in the likes of the Enterprise and Millenium Falcon were thought to be impossible to build due to the large amount of money that would be required to haul resources from sea level to outer space. Instead, slow sublight craft were used. It took the Venture Star six weeks to reach Mars in 1984. When warp drive was invented on Earth around the turn of the 21st century, the notion of a starship was renewed. Thanks to asteroid mining, building ships was now much cheaper to do.
- Starships are the fastest and most expensive spaceships and are capable of Interstellar Travel. The development of the starship paved the way for the United Planetary Federation's birth, and made it possible for Vrusk, Dralasites, Yazirians and Humans to meet face to face. Starships are driven by either atomic fission engines or ion engines. They tend to be large, although the recent introduction of the assault scout has created an exception to this rule.
- "Spaceship" (スペース・シップ Supēsu Shippu) is an archetype of Machine monsters used by Eviluder in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga. The original name of the monsters is "Starship" (スターシップ Sutāshippu); however, both the name and lore of their so far only support card, "Spaceship Barrier", reads "Spaceship" instead. This was probably a mistake, as it was used with "Number 42: Galaxy Tomahawk", which is a "Starship" monster.
- A starship is a type of vehicle that is capable of supporting a crew traveling over interstellar distances. Starships are capable of faster-than-light speeds using warp drive or other propulsion methods. A starship's specification is largely determined by its class. Vessels which are not interstellar capable (i.e. interplanetary) are generally referred to as space ships. The term generally can be applied to any interstellar spacecraft, but is most frequently applied to the ships operated by the Federation Starfleet.
- A starship is any manned spacecraft that is capable of viable interstellar travel, i.e any manned spacecraft that has the ability to transport and support a crew across interstellar distances in a reasonable time. A starship accomplishes this via the employment of some form of faster-than-light spacecraft propulsion technology, such as warp drive.
