Create an Object
Creating objects fills the world of Horizons to make the story worth telling. Objects can be quick-spawned using an Action or created using the full Create an Object menu inside the Objects and Encounters menus at both the Module and Mission level.
The Create an Object menu has seven sections along the sidebar of the popup: General, Locations, Cargo, Hardpoints, Dialog, Tasks, and Properties.

| Name | The ship name. |
| Description | Is displayed only for the GM in the GM screen. |
| Designation | The ship's hull number. |
| Faction | The ship's faction alignment. None will make the ship show as neutral. |
| Class | The ship class, which affects the 3D model and base component setup. |
| Tags | These tags are alternative references to the object. Names must be unique but tags can be shared by multiple objects. |
| Crew | This sets the number of crew that appears when the player scans the object. |
| Broadcasting? | If checked, the ship and its scan details will appear without the need to scan the object. |
