The USG Ishimura is a fictional spacecraft from the Dead Space franchise of survival horror video games developed by Visceral Games. Known as a "planet-cracker" in-universe, the mining vessel serves as the setting of the 2008 Dead Space and its 2023 remake after its crew recovers an alien artifact on the planet Aegis VII, which transforms them into undead creatures called Necromorphs. The protagonist, Isaac Clarke, is sent to conduct emergency maintenance on the ship but soon finds himself fighting the Necromorphs with his engineering tools in an attempt to survive and escape. The ship is rediscovered in the time between Dead Space and Dead Space 2, having been left abandoned for three years and subsequently taken to a massive spaceport known as the "Sprawl" for insurance purposes, which indirectly triggers a new outbreak of Necromorphs; Isaac revisits parts of the vessel during the events of the sequel. The Ishimura was praised for its believable design and horror atmosphere. In the remake, entire sections had been redesigned, giving a more logical, accessible flow to the main layout while preserving others to maintain a familiarity of the original game.
