SS Trojan

The SS Trojan was an exploration ship commissioned by the League in 3102 to explore an uncharted region of space, theorised to be inhabited by either Simulants or Borg. The ship was part of a fleet of five, all of which were lost at different times during their voyage into the uncharted regions. It was later discovered that the Simulants that lived in that sector fired upon the ships and destroyed their propulsion systems, and the crews were evacuated by the League. Unfortunatly, the ships had to be abandoned.

The SS Trojan, being the least damaged of the five ships, made its way out of the zone via its propulsion systems and drifted through space for thousands of years, eventually being found by the crew of the Red Dwarf. Since the ship was unusable, the crew decided to tow it behind their mothership to create the illusion that it was mobile so that Rimmer's brother would think it was still active. However, a rogue simulant who was pretending to be Rimmer's brother's servant decided she wanted the ship and attacked the crew. She killed Rimmer's brother before she could be destroyed, and after the ruse was discovered the Dwarfers abandoned the Trojan to the blackness of space again.
