The Planet Express Ship is a bright green (actual name electric mucus) delivery spacecraft owned by Planet Express. It is used by Fry, Bender and Captain Leela to take various packages all over the galaxy. It has windshield wipers, a coffee maker, cup holders, a microwave, games room, cargo hold and a laundry room.

It was shown in "The Sting" that there was a previous ship; seemingly identical to the current one but painted a dull gray color. It was piloted by Fаrnsworth's previous crew, whom he had sent off on a suicide mission to collect space honey.

The ship was designed and built by Professor Hubert Farnsworth and runs on dark matter, mostly supplied by Nibbler. After the dark matter incident in Bender's Game where dark matter was rendered worthless, it used whale oil (only appeared in Into the Wild Green Yonder). The ship does not actually move itself, but, using the Dark Matter Accelerator, it moves the universe around it as stated by Cubert Farnsworth ("A Clone of My Own"). It's fairly well fortified, with a laser cannon and two torpedo tubes. It's shielding has held up against a torrent of missiles; yet the ship falls victim to such things as rocks while parked.

Once, the ship has also shown that it has an independent personality. Originally, the ship had a male personality, but after recurring disputes with Bender, Prof. Fаrnsworth changed its programming to female, leading to a romance between her and Bender. Since she is able to drive herself, it remains unknown why there needs to be a pilot. This has been the only episode that has shown the ship having a personality. ("Love and Rocket") She was disabled towards the end of the episode, however a part of her personality was merged with Bender. Oddly, she has not made any recurring appearence since.

Features

Some features the ship have are:

• A winch with a magnet on the end, which deploys from the cargo hold
• A laser turret which deploys from the dorsal section of the ship

Trivia

• The Planet Express ship main control pad seems to be a reference to HAL 9000 from "2001: A Space Odyssey".
• Another reference to the movie is when Bender sings "Daisy Bell", the song sang by HAL 9000 before he died.
