The Polar in Star Citizen is a size 1, grade B military cooler made by Aegis Dynamics. It’s a ship component, not a ship hull part, and it’s meant to help keep a vehicle’s systems cool under combat stress.

What it means

  • The Polar is installed in ships and vehicles that use a size 1 cooler slot.
  • It’s described as built for durability and military use.
  • Examples of ships that can use Polar coolers include the Defender, F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker, Khartu-Al, and Terrapin.

Common confusion

A lot of people searching this are actually thinking of the Polaris , the RSI corvette-class capital ship in Star Citizen. If that’s what you meant, the Polaris is a large multi-crew combat ship with a hangar, torpedoes, and turret armament.

Quick distinction

Term| What it is
---|---
Polar| A ship cooler component 46
Polaris| A capital ship/corvette 78

If you want, I can also explain where the Polar fits in a ship build or compare it with other coolers.
