<div>[[File:Our universe in a box.png|thumb|right|"Correct, this box contains our own universe!" {{er|4ACV15}}]]<br />
This universe, known by [[Yivo]], an exo-universal being, as '''Universe Γ''' (gamma) and briefly by the [[Planet Express crew|crew of]] [[Planet Express]] as '''Universe A''' (to avoid confusion with [[universe 1]]) is the primary location of all that is, and the entire sum of all history. The universe was created in the [[Big Bang]], and will end into another Big Bang creating an universe exactly identical to the previous. This will happen in the year 10 E 40.<br />
<br />
There exist [[Parallel universes|other universes]], however, which are all described in comparison to this universe, ranging from subtle differences to the extreme.<br />
<br />
For the longest time, only a single other parallel universe, a cowboy universe, was known to exist. It remains unknown if the Planet Express crew informed the world about the discovery/creation of many more universes. {{er|The Farnsworth Parabox}}<br />
<br />
By the [[31st century]], despite the edge of the universe having been reached, there still seems to be a tremendous amount of unexplored territory left. In [[3002]], [[Professor Farnsworth]] proposed moving a star system so that "their gravity might just divert the Chronitons to the empty side of the universe", {{er|Time Keeps on Slippin'}} implying that a vast portion of the universe is either entirely vacant, or at least devoid of all life. In [[3011]], the entire universe was briefly [[Bender]]'s processor. {{er|Overclockwise}}<br />

}}<br />
The '''[[Planet Express]] ship''', named '''Bessie''' in [[3013]] {{et|7ACV15}}, was designed and built by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Prof. Farnsworth]] {{et|1ACV01}}. Its color is said to be Electric Mucus ([[Bender's Game|BG]]). The ship is capable of traveling at 99% light speed {{et|4ACV09}}, which is a lot faster than traditional light speed, since the [[speed of light]] was increased in [[2208]], but in fact it does not move at all. Instead, its engines move the universe around it. This is made possible in part by its incredible [[dark matter]] reactor equipped with afterburners providing 200% fuel efficiency {{et|2ACV10}}, and the ship needs about 63 balls of dark matter to be full. However, due to dark matter becoming ineffective as fuel (BG), it now runs on whale oil ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ItWGY]]). The ship has the LX package, but the only noted upgrade is a gold hood ornament which was stolen by a punk in a rough space neighbourhood (BG).<br />
<br />
The ship is surprisingly comfortable inside. It carries two [[Hover Dolly|Hover Dollies]] to help move heavy cargo around {{et|2ACV02}}. The ship can also be used in combat and has fought against the [[Robot Mafia]], the [[Space Pirates]], and the [[Omicronians]] during [[First Omicronian Invasion of Earth|their first invasion of Earth]]. It is so effective in battle that it fought in the defence of [[Earth]] with the [[DOOP Army|DOOP forces]].<br />
<br />
The ship's computer is sentient. For a while, it was involved in a romantic relationship with [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] {{et|4ACV03}}. When things turned sour, they had to wipe the ship's memory to regain control.<br />
<br />
In [[3013]], [[Fry]] sold the ship for [[bean salesman|two giant beans]] {{et|7ACV22}}.<br />
<br />
It is joked about in [[Commentary:The Beast with a Billion Backs|the DVD commentary]] for ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'' that the Planet Express ship seems to have numerous different systems, many of which are redundant. Specifically, jokes were made about how using a crane to load dark matter was that film's method of doing so. While it is obvious that the redundant systems are mistakes on the part of the writers, an in-universe explanation for this could be Prof. Farnsworth's senility causing him to create more mechanisms to perform a task that would never be necessary. It can also be explained by the numerous times that the ship needs to be rebuilt that it necessitates that a new system be devised. <br />
<br />
Like all leading characters in the show, the ship has an overbite.<br />

== The autopilot ==<br />
[[File:Dewey.jpg|right|thumb|The autopilot.]]<br />
In addition, the ship carries a separate AI: the autopilot, who is rarely seen on-screen. The auto-pilot first appears in "[[Bendless Love]]" and makes another appearance in "[[Love and Rocket]]". The ship and the autopilot may not be separate entities: its voice is the same in both of its appearances and in "Love and Rocket", the ship handled autopilot duties.<br />
<br />
Bender and the autopilot have had drinking contests, and Leela has referred to the autopilot as a drunk (although it is apparently standard protocol to carry a full compliment of olives with which to make martinis). The autopilot is also known to find certain art offensive, particularly art with explicit nudity.<br />
<br />
== Holo-pilot ==<br />
In "[[Robot Santa's Little Helpers]]", Leela is shown to have designed a "Holopilot", with the appearance of a fat, ugly [[Amy Wong|Amy]].<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*In "[[A Clockwork Origin]]", Farnsworth calls it the '''Science-mobile'''.<br />
*In "[[Lethal Inspection]]", [[Amy]] says that the ship has been repossessed, suggesting that the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] didn't build the ship himself or it is rented out by the PE crew.<br />

{{list expansion}}<br />
:''Technically, the Planet Express ship appears in all [[episodes]], as it is featured in the [[opening sequence]], as well as in most [[comics]]. But it also appears in ''almost'' every episode ''outside'' of the opening sequence. Therefore, this list only deals with media where the ship is not seen.''<br />
