Reply to comment by SwiftTime00 in SpaceX on Twitter: Super Heavy Booster 7 completed a full duration static fire test of 31 Raptor engines, producing 7.9 million lbf of thrust (~3,600 metric tons) – less than half of the booster’s capability by allforspace
It's the Super Heavy - the first stage of the Starship which is the second stage.

Ok, that makes allot of sense, thought there was a new ship called super heavy that I had no clue about and was very confused lol. Didn’t realize they gave the first stage a different name than starship, thought the whole thing was just called starship and it would be stage 1 of starship and stage 2 of starship rather than separate names for both. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

the naming scheme is a bit odd, the full stack is called starship and the upper stage is also called starship.
