A starship is a type of vehicle 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 that are not interstellar capable (i.e., interplanetary) are generally referred to as space ships.

Starship

Various Federation starships

The term generally can be applied to any interstellar spacecraft, but is most frequently applied to the ships operated by the Federation Starfleet.

However, the notion of stoneship introduced in Stone Trek is roughly equivalent to that of a starship in other continuities.
