SS Nautilus

The SS Nautilus was an Earthern spacecraft crewed by both Humans and Silurians. Its mission was to fully chart the Sol System, planting probes on each and every planet, moon, asteroid and comet. This task took little over 11 years to complete, thanks to the ships modiied transwarp drive. The drive was powered by hydrogen ans, which would scoop hydrogen molecules out of the atmospheres of passing planets and convert them into fuel for the ship.

The SS Nautilus initially possessed no weapons, however it was forced to evade interstellar pirates during its mission and was later fitted with basic point-defence guns as it passed Io. These were later used in combat against Kig-Yar pirates, who were not identified as such at the time.

Following the completion of its mission, the SS Nautilus was set the new task of discovering new planets on the outer fringes of the solar system, and it was responsible for the discovery of the planets Futo, Gluto and Plutie.
