CIG has announced that unclaimed codes for these two ships have expired and can no longer be claimed.

A theory posed by one content creator (Camural) is that this is due to the recent breach that CIG had where a list of codes like these could have been obtained by the hacker.

Screenshot of notice: Deprecation of Hardware Promotional Codes Roberts Space Industries August 17, 2026 20:09 Updated In the past, Star Citizen had various cross promotions with certain hardware manufacturers that allowed players the chance to get some unique ships alongside their computer upgrade purchase. The promotional ships in question are the Aegis Sabre Raven from the purchase of an Intel Optane™ SSD, and the Consolidated Outland Mustang Omega from purchasing an AMD Radeon™ R9 or R7 series graphics card. Through an extensive grace period, the RSI Support Team was occasionally able to assist with unclaimed codes to help players claim one of these ships as an exception. We feel that this grace period to allow these old codes to be redeemed has run its course. RSI Support staff will not assist with unclaimed or expired codes from either promotion.

These are specifically for hardware promotional codes. In the case of the Sabre Raven it would be from the Intel Optane SSD. The promotion for this ended in 2018. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000059982/memory-and-storage/client-ssds.html

    Da Poets has gotten codes for raven 2 years ago: https://x.com/DaPoets/status/1736279530246213973

    So yes, they have had them in the wild recently.

    The announcement doesn't affect hardware giveaways for the Sabre Raven. It's limited to the Intel Optane SSD promotion and AMD R9/R7 GPU promotion where anyone could go out and buy the hardware to get a code (at the time).

    Edit: Although it's possible DaPoets used a code from the SSD promotion, I find it more likely that this code came from CIG specifically for the giveaway... I'll try to remember to ask him the next time I run into him at a Bar Citizen/CitizenCon.

    Edit2: Nah, it's totally possible that the code there did originate from the SSD promotion. That being said, this announcement doesn't prevent CIG from generating new codes and renewing the promotion with Intel in a different way.
