Planet Express Ship

The Planet Express ship was designed and built by Prof. Farnsworth. The ship is capable of traveling at 99% light speed (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, it's engines move the universe around it. This is made possible in part by it's incredible dark matter reactor equipped with afterburners providing 200% fuel efficiency.

The ship is surprisingly comfortable inside. In addition to a large, open bridge, there are crew quarters, a lounge, a sauna, a full kitchen, and even a laundry room. The largest room, of course, is the cargo bay. The ship carries two Hover-Dollies to help move heavy cargo around.

The ship's computer is sentient. For a while, it was involved in a romantic relationship with Bender (4ACV03). When things turned sour, they had to wipe the ship's memory to regain control.

In addition, the ship carries a separate AI: The auto-pilot. Bender and the auto-pilot have had drinking contests, but the auto-pilot has never been seen on-screen.

Like all leading characters in the show, the ship has an overbite.
