Guild Heighliner (Frank Herbert's Dune, 2000, Sci-Fi Channel)

A Spacing Guild heighliner (Frank Herbert's Dune miniseries, 2000)

A starship was a space-faring vessel capable of travelling between star systems. They typically travelled close to light speed, or used the Holtzman Effect to realize faster-than-light travel.

Starships were essential to humankind's colonization of the known universe, and were critical to intergalactic transportation and communications for many millennia.

Spaceship often is used in a more generic sense for all types of spacecraft including shuttles and short-range planetary transports.
