Engine

Dark matter propulsion

The dark matter propulsion engine works by warping space around the spaceship, contracting space in front of it, and stretching space behind it. The ship travels on the wave of space, making a long journey seem shorter to the passengers.

Fuel

The engine itself is power by dark matter. A substance produced by Nibblonians.

Compartments

Bridge

The Planet Express Ship has a spacious bridge, with a captains chair in the center.

Cargo Bay

Sleeping Quarters

Missions

Delivery Vessel
