@PunchGirlFists asked:

I understand if it's a spoiler but is the centaur script an actual constructed script that one could potentially learn about?
I love me a good fantasy/sci-fi script especially when it's not just an alternate latin alphabet.

My conlangs are extremely slapdash and this mess is the closest thing I have to a key, but this centaur script does have logographic characters with assigned meanings and a puzzling non-linear grammar structure. It is used as a signage script for communication between nomadic tribes who speak related but non-identical languages, and as a result doesn't have a lot of unified standards. Sentences can often be read in more than one word order. The second image has sentences for good luck charms written inside the utility spine of the ship later in the story.

love how matter-of-fact this is! it'd have to be, to translate into many unrelated languages that don't share much grammar, but the result is cute in a way

I dunno if "we are faster than you" is a ship name or just a loud statement, but, yeaaaaah
