Spaceship

A spaceship, space vehicle, or space vessel was any type of manned spacecraft capable of traveling in space, by the means of space normal or warp speeds. Specifically, a spaceship was capable of achieving or leaving a planet's orbit. () In the Risan language, the term was translated as "woomar". ()
The term was commonly used during the 19th and 20th centuries to describe any sort of space vessel. (; ; )
The Earth-Romulan War, which occurred during the mid-22nd century, was fought, with primitive atomic weapons and in what was later viewed as primitive space vessels that allowed no quarter, no captives, nor ship-to-ship visual communication. ()
In 2254, Captain Christopher Pike referred to his vessel as the "space vehicle Enterprise" when contacting the Talosians. () 
Later in the 23rd century, the term spaceship was generally used to describe non-Starfleet vessels, in which case the term starship was used. () Nevertheless, such Starfleet vessels were described as spaceships, in instances where a culture was not familiar with said technology. (; ; )
By the 24th century, the term "starship" was colloquially used to describe most space vessel types, whereas shuttles would be referred to as auxiliary space vessels. ()
