Farscape 1: John
Crichton’s module. He and DK built it to test their slingshot
theory of space flight. But instead of proving the theory, it
created a wormhole that sucked him into another part of the
universe. Over the next few cycles John added many modifications
to Farscape 1, including hetch drive capability and biomechanoid
technology. The little ship is one of the few mementos John has
left of earth. |

Glendian Pleasure Vessel (Mention
Only): When Aeryn warns Rygel to leave their visitors alone, he replies,
“Visitors? Has Moya has turned into a Glendian Pleasure Vessel now?” Durka

Halos One: The Halosian ship whose weapon caused Moya’s crew to
exchange bodies. Three times. When it fired on Talyn, he retaliated and
nearly destroyed it so the Halosians were looking for revenge when they
found Moya. Out of Their Minds |
|
|
Hokothian
Ship: The
ship was actually quite small, but was capable of projecting a hologram which deceived Moya's
and her crew into thinking it was a huge ship. It also projected a Leviathan image which fooled
Braca into thinking it was Moya. Because of this, he destroyed the Hokothian ship rather than
Moya who went into Starburst. |

|
Ilonic Research Ship: Verell and
Matala barely escaped from this ship before their research – studies on
developing a black hole into a weapon – destroyed it. Moya just happened
to be gliding by and she picked up the researchers. Back and Back and Back to the Future |
|
|
Ilonic Transport
Pod: After John and D'Argo dragged Verell and Matala to safety,
John went back to look for other survivors. While he was inside, he was
touched by the quantum singularity that Verell was trying to develop into a
weapon. He soon began jumping back and forth in time. Back and Back and Back to the Future |

Jakench Cargo Runner: Empress Novia
chose to hide John aboard this automated ship to protect him after an
attempt on his life. A ship full of wedding gifts from the Jakench was
orbiting the Royal Planet and seemed a safe place to stash him.
Unfortunately, the Empress’s “loyal” servant, ro-NA, betrayed John to
Scorpius and Braca was waiting when they arrived. The ship was destroyed by
self-tracking pulse cannons just moments after John jumped out into space
without a spacesuit. Look at the

Kcrackic’s Pirate Ship: It came
swooping in, looking like a bird in flight, and landed on Moya. As soon as
Kcrackic got the information he came for (false info, as it turned out),
he took off again. The Flax |

KL-80 and KL-81 (Mention
Only): Two of the
first ships that Aeryn learned to fly during her early Peacekeeper training.

Kyvan’s
Junk Shop: Maldis,
in disguise as Kyvan, lured Chiana and Rygel with something he knew
they couldn’t resist: shopping. He filled the shop with many
trinkets knowing that they’d find something they absolutely had
to have. This turned out to be a picture of Chiana that Maldis used
to predict disastrous events for each of the crew. Picture if You

Leviathan: A huge
biomechanoid. Peacekeepers capture these living ships, sedate them and
install control collars while they’re sedated. They use them for transport
duty, especially for transporting prisoners. Most of the ships’ functions
are controlled by a pilot, symbiotic being who is permanently bonded to the
Leviathan. See Biomechanoid category for more information. |

Lo'La
(D'Argo's Ship): D'Argo’s ancient ship, named in memory of his wife, Lo’Laan. He found it adrift
when the Commerce Station was attacked by the Kampeks’ storm. Once he learned to controw it,
he found it has more bells and whistles than the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Suns and Lovers; Revenging Angel; Dog with Two Bones; What Was Lost,

Luxan Assault Piercer:
D'Argo dreamed of serving on an Assault Piercer when he was a boy.
While one of these ships was trapped in the flax, D'Argo and Staanz planned
to board it looking for map fibers but they detected the atmosphere escaping
from the transport pod and went to rescue John and Aeryn instead. Since the
Luxan ship was about to be melted for scrap, D'Argo gave up his chance at
getting the directions to his home in order to save the lives of his
shipmates. The Flax |

Luxan Deep Space Voyager: (Mention
Only)Staanz stole the boots he was wearing from a body he found while he was
looting a Deep-Space Voyager. The Flax |

Marauder: A
Peacekeeper ship with a five man crew of commandos and a top speed of hetch
seven. Marauders have scanning ability and are often used for scouting or
searching missions as well as transport duty. Crews are able to look through
the bottoms of the ships and can jump out and be on the move before it even
comes to a halt. Moya’s been invaded twice by Marauder crews. The first
time she was playing hostess for a Drak birthing event. A Marauder full of
commandos boarded while she had the doors open trying to cool down her
interior. The second time, Larraq’s Marauder developed a cesium fuel leak
and he boarded Moya looking for a ride to the Gammak base. Gilina’s
Marauder transport was incinerated by the Sheyangs, marooning her on the
Zelbinion for Moya’s crew to find. Exodus

Moya: Moya is a
Leviathan, a living ship who is home for our favorite group of escaped
prisoners and refugees. For such a huge being, Moya spends a lot of her time
being scared and transmits her fear through Pilot, a symbiotic being who is
bonded for life to the ship. For more information, see the Biomechanoid
category. |

Nebari Standard Host Vessel (Mention
Only): This is probably the most kick-ass alien ship we’ve heard about so
far. Without weapons, it was able to defeat a Peacekeeper Command Carrier.
And not just any old Command Carrier either,
but the legendary Zelbinion. Durka

|
Nebari Transport Ship: Moya came
out of a wild StarBurst and crashed into Durka and Salis’s ship, crippling
it. Pilot brought the ship into Moya where Salis and Durka could wait for
the Nebari Host Vessel to pick them up. Durka, trying to escape from the
Nebari, commanded Moya to StarBurst but she couldn’t due to her pregnancy.
Durka hopped into the Nebari transport so he could shoot the baby out of
Moya, solving the StarBurst problem. Crichton stopped him with the bowling
ball from hell. Durka Returns |

New Moon of Delvia: The ship
landed on the Delvians new home, heated the rock until it became molten,
then sank below ground level to become their temple. Aeryn saw this as a
strategic move to hide them from their enemies while Tahleen claimed it was
to give the Delvians solitude for piety. Rhapsody

Pantak Class Vigilante (Mention
Only): A ship used
by the Peacekeeper Retreival Squad pursuing Talyn. They attacked with an
immobilizer pulse and very nearly accomplished their goal of retrieving him
for the Peacekeepers. The Squad was led by Xhalax Sun, Aeryn’s mother. Thanks

Peacekeeper Command Carriers. The main
ships of the Peacekeeper armada, they carry soldiers, weapons, attack
vessels and the commanders of the forces. Their main weapons are frag
cannons. According to Rockne O’Bannon, their design is based on an early
20th Century Russian industrial look. |
|
|
Placavian Ships: We only got
to see the first one of these ships briefly before Talyn blew it up with his
main cannon. (Gruesome as it sounds, I particularly enjoyed watching the
Placavian arms dealer spatter against Talyn’s view screen.) The second
Placavian ship snared Moya’s transport pod with some snaky-looking cables,
disabled the crew with a dampening net, and dragged the pod into the ship. The
Ugly Truth |

Prowler: A small,
quick and agile Peacekeeper attack ship. When Crichton first tumbled out of
the wormhole, Tauvo Crais’s prowler ran into him. Aeryn had been a prowler
pilot when she was a Peacekeeper and her ship was caught in StarBurst during
Moya’s initial escape from captivity. John, while being controlled by the
Scorpius chip in his head, attacked Aeryn in her prowler, killing her and
causing her prowler to crash and explode. |

Rados'splana: Neeyala’s
wormhole research ship. This corkscrew-looking vessel came whipping out of a
wormhole and pierced completely through Moya. According to Neeyala, the
impact took place during phase resolution. Self-Inflicted
Wounds, Parts 1 and 2 |

Rovhu: A Leviathan
prison ship assigned to transfer only one prisoner, the criminally insane
Kaarvok. Rovhu still had his control collar on when Moya’s transport pod
set down in his landing bay. They found that Rovhu was slowly being eaten by
his former crew members, who were near starvation. Both Rovhu and his pilot
were victims of Kaarvok. The pilot was especially pathetic. Because of his
ability to re-grow his arms he became a renewable food supply. Eat

Scorvian Vessel: It came
disguised as an Ilanic cruiser to pick up Matala, who had stolen the black
hole weapon from Verell. To avoid blowing their cover, the Scorvians (who
are supposed to look very unlike Ilanics) claimed that their viewscreen was
not operational. Matala escaped from Moya, Moya StarBurst away, and the
black hole weapon immediately destroyed both Matala and the Scorvian ship. Back

Scrub Runner
(Mention Only):The first
ship that Aeryn piloted during her Peacekeeper training. She was 14 cycles
old at the time. We found out about it during Aeryn’s conversation with
Larraq. A Bug’s Life |

Staanz's
Ship: This lovely vessel is used primarily for collecting "what
others throw away," but definitely not garbage. Its main form of
propulsion seems to be banging on the boiler door assisted by pleading and
begging from the pilot. The Flax |

Talyn: Moya’s
son. He’s a hybrid of Leviathan and Peacekeeper technology. Crais, whose
experiment was responsible for Talyn’s conception, is bonded with Talyn by
means of a neurotransponder. For
more information on Talyn, see the Biomechanoid category. |

|
Transport Pod: Moya (and
other Leviathans) have several of these ships available for short distance
travel. They are capable carrying several people and are easily able to land
on and take off from planets. Their technology is biomechanoid but they
aren’t sentient beings like Moya |

Zelbinion: A renowned
Peacekeeper Command Carrier. It was lost in the Uncharted Territories over
100 cycles ago after an encounter with a Nebari Host Vessel. It was floating
dead in space when Moya found it. After Rygel was first captured by the
Peacekeepers he was imprisoned on the Zelbinion and tortured by it’s
captain, Selto Durka |
