Ship Name: SS Pinafore
Created by Logan Goodhue (Foxboy)
Registry Number: QT-3-141516
Base Hull: 45 meter Luxury Yacht Pinnafarina
Drive Type: Speed (Warsie/Trekkie hyper/warp kludge) (max velocity 0.1C)
Owner of Record: Captain J. Corcoran
Flag of Record: as Pinnafarina, Cayman Islands. Currently, United States of America
Purpose: Space Liner, Bounty Hunter/Privateer, Cargo
Launched: November 30, 2009, 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time
Crew:
* J. "Joe" or "Josie" Corcoran (Captain)
* Jane "Tabitha" or "Tabby" Doe (Translator, Morale Officer)
* A. "Alley" Dobbs (Quartermaster)
* T. "Tom" Dobbs (Master-At-Arms)
Supplementary Crew:
* Buttercup (Ship's AI)
* Blossom (Medbay AI)
* Bubbles (Ship's Seamstress AI)
* Toni (Captain Corcoran's Hardsuit/Spacesuit AI)
Known Vehicle Quirks:
* Opera Mad: Buttercup will only accept sung commands, preferably in verse. She will accept recitavo grudgingly.
* "What are you doing?' 'Coloring!": Bubbles runs the shipboard tailor, but to function properly she needs a new box of Crayola Crayons and 300 pages of coloring books a month. Fortunately, she doesn't mind repeated coloring books, but prefers "girly" ones and demands certain pages be placed on the refrigerator in the galley.
* Mother Knows best: Regardless of the actual diagnosis, Blossom will almost always prescribe chicken soup in addition to whatever medical treatment she is capable of providing. In fact, she will prescribe it to the perfectly healthy crewmates that bring the patients in.
* Knighty Knight: Toni is the resident AI in what was intended to be an Iron Man-style armor for a spacesuit. The utilization of too much 'wavium and Bubble Gum Crisis on the nearby DVD player caused her to reform as a BGC 2040-type hardsuit. She now is very particular about what forms she takes and what her pilot looks like. She gleefully assisted in Captain Corcoran's Biomod procedure. She communicates mainly through shifting her armor into different suit configurations, altering her color schemes, and text displays on her heads-up helmet screen.
Known Crew Quirks:
* Odd dietary needs: since all of the crew have had biomod procedures, they all have various quirky needs. The captain needs "English" cuisine, while all of the catgirls require a different flavor of Fanta soda.
Faction: Mostly Non-Aligned, but associated with the US Government through the recently acquired Letters of Marque and Reprisal. May join SEBureau at the Con
Home Port: Port Luna, Luna
Current Location: En route to Port Phobos from Port Luna
Status: ACTIVE
Trivia:
* The Pinafore was previously the private yacht of a very big name in the Miami drug scene, Gervasio Faustino de Leon. Said drug lord is also a name in the Zwilnik scene.
* The shipboard library has one of the most extensive digital collections of nineteenth-through-twentieth century operettas in existence.
* The ship launched from Terra one minute before the most stringent anti-'wavium legislation was enacted in the United States.
* Toni won "Best Armor" at Kandor-Con's cosplay competition for her and Captain Corcoran's portrayal of Classic Nene Romanova, and Bubbles had sewn the first runner-up in Craftsmanship for a Neo-Queen Serenity Gown that was later part of an infamous bidding war among the Senshi fraction at later auction.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
