The Titanic was the largest, most luxurious space cruise ship ever built (1ACV10).
Features
In design, she resembled the classic steam ship "R.M.S. Titanic" from 1912 with its four funnels and sharp bow. It sported a casino with a bar, a buffet (including bisque, Amy's favorite), an outdoor swimming pool on the deck, a large restaurant and many other amenities. Propulsion was seemingly provided by one or more Dark Matter reactors situated in the bowels of the ship, which was fueled by many stokers shoveling Dark Matter into the fires. Unlike its even more unlucky namesake, the ship sported a great number of escape pods at the stern, sufficient to allow every person on board to escape in an emergency.
Levels
Levels of the ship included (in order from above):
- First Class (cabins of the First Class and many other representative rooms)
- Second Class (Second Class cabins)
- Steerage (for less wealthy passengers)
- Laundry (Laundry).
- Bowels of the ship (Dark Matter reactors)
- Fiesta Deck (cheapest passenger quarters and reactor exhaust)
Details of service
The Titanic began her maiden voyage, related in the episode "A Flight to Remember", at the South Street Spaceport in New New York under the command of the honorary captain Zapp Brannigan and his First Officer Kif Kroker. The ship was christened with none other than Leonardo DiCaprio's head. During the passage, Captain Brannigan felt the captain's itch for adventure and decided to change course right into a swarm of comets. When the course turned out to be more suicidal than initially hoped, another course change was made into a region empty of comets that was, however, filled with a black hole. The ship got caught in the pull of this interstellar gravity well and began to break up, in the exact same place her predecessor. Captain Brannigan relinquished command, to Lieutenant Kif Kroker, to free him to be first to leave the ship. Unlike the original Titanic, almost all passengers abandoned the ship before she was eventually sucked into the black hole. The only casualty was one aristocratic fembot, the Countess de la Roca.
