The Nimbus (registry BP-1729) is the flagship of the Democratic Order Of Planets star fleet, and has often been involved in various examples of galactic warfare and other governmental matters. Under the commanded of 25-Star General Zapp Brannigan, with Lieutenant Kif Kroker as his second in command, the Nimbus has been damaged by enemy forces on several occasions, but each time the ship has been rebuilt in time for Brannigan to lead it to unnecessary danger.

Armaments Edit

Tactical Laser Edit

• The Nimbus has a tactical laser on board to make delicate cuts, which has three settings: STUN, KILL, and HYPERDEATH™.

Lovenasium Edit

Trivia Edit

• The Nimbus is a parody of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek: The Original Series and the USS Enterprise D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The white hull color, rotating nacelle at the rear, appearance of a Dr. McCoy. Like doctor in the ship's sickbay and the presence of a holodeck-like system all serve to reinforce this fact.
• The name Nimbus is a reference to the Flying Nimbus from Dragon Ball. It could also be a reference to the planet Nimbus III in "Star Trek V: The final frontier", possibly the worst movie in the entire ST saga, which was, incidentally, directed by William Shatner.
