Captain's Yacht

                                  from
      
                     Star Trek : The Next Generation

   Never heard of it? It's also known as "The nobble on the underside of the
saucer section, in the center". Supposedly called Calypso, it is oval,
bluish and stupid-looking. I borrowed the Enterprise-D technical manual, and
modelled it from that. Why? I don't know. I only borrowed the manual for a
quick read. I must have been REALLLY bored.
   It is supposed to go at mach 20 in atmosphere, although if you ask me
this is bollocks. Mach 20 into the ground would be preferable. They go and
build the Captain a yacht and he never uses it anyway.

   Still, I'm sure it'll come in handy when I need a craft to get the shit
kicked out of it by a B-Wing or Star Fury in an animation.

   I don't actually hate Star Trek. I just hate Deep Space 9, the really
crap episodes of TNG and anybody who spends their time learning Klingon and
memorising all the Treknobabble jargon. And believing it.
   Besides, who needs Star Trek when we've got Babylon 5?
