Sapient Ship: Difference between revisions

Not to be confused with [[Setting As a Character]] where the ship is just treated like a character by the cast but isn't necessarily alive. Compare [[Sapient Steed]] which is this trope applied to steeds and smaller vehicles that are used for transport instead of living on. Some [[Sapient Ship|Sapient Ships]] are big enough to be [[Genius Loci]]. [[Spaceship Girl]] is a subtrope when the AI creates a humanoid avatar that is an attractive woman. When this is accomplished by plugging a human brain into the computer, it's [[Wetware CPU]].

* ''[[Andromeda]]'': the "Andromeda Ascendant" is a ship with an AI. And by no means the only Commonwealth capital ship with one. Most have a [[Spaceship Girl|semi-autonomous android avatar]] as well.

* ''[[Lexx]]'': the titular ship is mostly (and often gruesomely) biological. It can speak directly to its crew, and its hobbies include blowing up planets. Strangely enough, it even reproduces at the end of the series, spawning a smaller light-white version of itself when it dies...of old age. Since Little Lexx has no mechanical parts added to the hull or machinery of any kind like the original's cryo-pods and moth breeder bay, it's likely that the non-organic elements were added to the original as it was growing. Little Lexx even has a glowing angler horn.

* ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'': ''Moya'' is a Leviathan, one of a species of sentient biological starships who communicate through their bonded Pilots. Her son ''Talyn'', as a hybrid, does not need a Pilot to communicate. Instead, he has a direct neural link to his commander that can be used by any species (presumably.)
