Ship Registry Codes

For some CMDRs, the Seals may be their primary - or only - social group in the game we all share and love. Sometimes, people want to rep and show off their ships, or emblazon their ships with things that identify them as Seals. This page will attempt to provide some cohesion and unity to the clutter of prefixes, registry numbers, and the like for both Carriers and Ships alike.

Some Guidelines

As this is a method of showing off your Seal membership in-game, any ship or carrier flying with either Seal prefixes, Seal registry codes or any other method of displaying "Seal" status, must conform to the following guidelines:

  1. Any Seal who is registered and in good standing may choose to make their ship or carrier a "Seal" vessel.
  2. Any Seal who is registered and in good standing may use any registered Seal prefix.
  3. Only the three carriers under the direct control of the Staff are considered "official" carriers.
    1. You may not advertise your carrier as "Official", and your actions are your own and not the groups.
  4. (For Carriers) If you are declaring an official "squadron" or backing as the Seals for things like expeditions or events, you must get Admin approval and follow the same procedures as you do with your regular ships.
  5. All ships named in this way, or displaying affiliation in any way to the Seals, may only engage in CONSENTUAL PvP only. The onus is on the Seal to be able to prove the PvP was consensual if issues arise.
  6. While on duty or on a call, PvP is forbidden.

Registry Numbers

You can view all registered Seal ships at Our Fleet page. Registration is optional. To manage your ships, go to our Vessel Registry portal.

All Seal ships begin with the prefix HS, and then a unique number of up to 4 digits. Variation is common among independent ships.
