Every Captain needs a good ship. Mal had Serenity, Han the Millennium Falcon, Willy the Wonkatania. All the really good spacefaring adventurers get a spiffy ship with a cool name, and the mooks get the “Twin-Pod Cloud Car.” If you’re gonna save the galaxy from the evil Prime Minister Zurg, you gotta travel in style, even if your car looks like a trashcan lid with a periscope. (Sorry, Solo, but somebody had to say it.) Since your humble MS-QOTD deals entirely in fantasy, with the occasional side-trip to incoherence, it seems that we may have ourselves today’s hyper-drive enabled query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) always liked the sound of “The Epoch Weasel”, though the United Starship “Jessie Spano” is also a serious contender, asking: What are you gonna call YOUR awesome starship?

Either the Starfighter with its Death Blossom or the venerated T-65 X-wing.
much like another roguish yet goofy and barely-competent space pirate, i’ll go the childhood crush route and call mine The Winona. no clue what mine would look like though….maybe something a little bigger than an X-Wing fighter or Spike Spiegel’s Swordfish, but a good deal smaller than Serenity. a cockpit, a bunk space/bathroom, and cargo hold are probably all i need.
The “Glory” is a Seraph class ship.
I will Kiss him and love him and squeeze him and hug him and call him “George”.
and because the original viper from Battlestar Galactica is too small to live in I would go with the space winnebeggo from “SpaceBalls”
