The M.S. Solar, also known as the Cargo Ship, is a location on Raritan Gem. It is a solar-powered cargo ship owned by the maintenance staff of CrossWorlds and captained by Captain Jet. It is a smaller ship of the Solar class. This where Lea's avatar is first initialized, and where she undergoes basic combat training.

The cargo ship of Captain Jet, which served as a training area for Lea before entering CrossWorlds for real. Its main task is shipping maintenance parts and personnel to the Playground to keep the real world technology of the game intact. The ship is powered by solar energy, which is why it has huge solar panels on deck. |

Layout
Cabin Toilet
The M.S. Solar has a large open deck where cargo is stored, along with a below-deck cargo hold which is currently converted to a training course for Lea. There are three upper levels: two levels of crew quarters and the bridge. The levels are connected by a large freight elevator.
As this area is a ship, there are no permanent connecting areas. There is a one-way teleporter which is calibrated to point to Newcomer's Bridge. Later on, this becomes a proper landmark that Lea can warp to.
