With the exception of The Leviathan (an Expedition Mode reward) they can only be obtained via random pulse drive Space Encounters after encountering the first one by building the Dream Aerial, which is a possible reward from frigate expeditions.

Players must run fleet missions to be able to encounter them. The Dream Aerial can be obtained from a blueprint as a reward for these missions. However, it is not guaranteed to be given.
