The Autonomous Exploration Vehicle, abbreviated AEV, is the most common model of Aballonian starships. Each is piloted by a single anacite that is often created and programmed to fit inside of and operate a specific vessel. These anacites are typically transferred to other bodies after completing their mission, which for most involves searching for new worlds for Those Who Become to colonise.

Although capable of acting autonomously, most AEVs are controlled by a bigger Group Defense Frigate. Their controls are often entirely digital, and they lack an atmosphere, personal comforts, or a proper defensive system.
