Hull Rupture ships
The store says three ships, with different layouts, systems, and loss thresholds. The names players see are in the achievement text, not in a separate ship manual.
Izumo is a demo-era name. No studio page says which release ship it became. I am not writing Izumo equals Hephaestus.

3 rows shown. Every row below has at least one public source.
Source counts use the reviewed number of independent original accounts; links that repeat the same studio announcement or platform record do not add a source. Steam's store, news, community and APIs count as one publisher. Dated change notes describe historical evidence; they do not establish current numerical values.

Speed 500 is an achievement condition, not a guarantee that every engine layout hits it. The economy page covers why extra modules slow the ship.
