Living Ship: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Heavens Reach|Heaven's Reach]]'': {{spoiler|many Jijoan colonists are taken to explore distant galaxies aboard a hydrogen-based Living Ship.}}

* ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]]: a new group of aliens called the Yuuzhan Vong introduced in a five-year book saga, ''[[New Jedi Order]]''. This race organically grows ''everything'', from clothes to communication devices to sewage disposal systems to weapons. Organic spaceships were inevitable. There's also Zonama Sekot, a [[Genius Loci]] planet that combines organic matter and technology to create living ships. It's known as the Rogue Planet because it also did this to itself. {{spoiler|The similarities are not coincidences.}}

* ''[[West of Eden]]'': the Yilané have a civilization built entirely on genetics and selective breeding, and use gigantic genetically modified icythyosaurs for trans-Atlantic shipping.

* ''[[Wild Cards]]'': the Takisians use and breed sentient (or semi-sentient) ships. Dr. Tachyon's ship - which he named "Baby" - regenerates its "ghost drive gland" over a period of years or decades, after he burned it out trying to go real fast.

* ''[[Traveller]] 2300'': The Pentapods have living starships which they [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke|engineered]] for—and ''from''—their own species thousands of years ago.

* ''[[Mage: The Ascension]]'': The Progenitor faction of the Technocracy built a living spaceship called the Vivo. Many of them find it hilarious to refer to going somewhere ''in vivo''. If you get this joke, you've spent too long in a lab.

* ''[[Conquest: Frontier Wars]]'': The mantis appear to grow, everything. Ships, platforms, space stations..

* ''[[Prey]]'': The world ship is part technology, part living tissue, with something that used to be human(probably) as the brain.

* ''[[Creatures]] 3'' and ''Docking Station'': The Shee Ark and Capillata are grown in vats. Capillata even has some kind of brain/heart thing visible in the Hub section. They aren't shown to be able to communicate, but appear to be capable of running themselves.

* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'': two of the airships are {{spoiler|[[Jerkass Gods|fal'Cie]]}}, and one is {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]].}}
