The ship that won the Skathelon War, the Inward Star cruiser was the first ship produced by the military owned Yaeger Yards. Before the Inward Star, ships had been built by private companies and purchased by the military, and the construction of a militarily owned shipyard was a subject of great dispute on the Gii Yaeg floor. The success of the Inward Star helped to quiet some of the opponents of the military Yards, and the Yaeger Yard's willingness to incorporate parts produced by independent corporations silenced many others.

Named after the symbol of the Yaeger, the Inward Star cruiser became just that, as it's distinctive profile came to represent Yaeger military presence. Introduced near the beginning of the Skathelon war, and refined throughout, the Inward Star quickly replaced the motley assortment of Dues, Kord, and Operion craft that had been the Yaeger navy until that point. Far faster and more agile than any craft fielded by the Skathelon, the Inward Star was the craft on which the Yaeger swirling tactics were first built. Replaced at the end of the Skathelon war by the earliest Panther models, an Inward Star Cruiser served as the navy's official flagship for nearly two hundred years after the last Inward Star was removed from combat duty.

Inward Star cruisers still retain a place of honor in the Yaeger's military memory, and the three Mark I Inward Stars have become museum ships. The cost listed is for an Inward Star cruiser that had been on backworld duty, and had been fitted with numerous replacement parts. An Inward Star Mark I with only original parts would command a much higher price.
