Starbug

The British television comedy Red Dwarf prominently features many different spaceships. The three principal ships are the Red Dwarf ship itself and its two main types of shuttlecraft, known as Starbug and Blue Midget. Several other ships have appeared for one or two episodes only but are nonetheless important to Red Dwarf continuity. Several spaceships have been seen only in one episode, and a few ships have also been mentioned but not seen.

The eponymous spaceship Red Dwarf is an enormous mining vessel owned by the Jupiter Mining Corporation. In the first episode "The End" (1988), and in some episodes early in the series chronologically set before the first episode, it is commanded by Captain Frank Hollister. For most of the show, Second Technician Arnold Rimmer is the self-imposed commander of this ship following the captain's off screen death in "The End", despite Rimmer being a deceased hologram.Holly says in both "Me²" (1988) and "Thanks for the Memory" (1988) that the ship has enough food and drink to last 30,000 years, but in "Thanks for the Memory" he says they have run out of Shake n' Vac, and in "Me²", he claims there is only one After Eight mint left, and everyone is too polite to take it. In the novel Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers (1989), the ship is described as being 6 miles (10 km) long, 4 miles (6.5 km) tall, and 3 miles (5 km) wide. However, in the episode "DNA" (1991), the Cat describes the ship as being 5 miles (8 km) long. The jagged shape and dull red colour of the vessel has led to the vessel being described in the episode "Psirens" (1993) as a "gigantic red trash can". All of Red Dwarf's systems are controlled by the computer Holly, although in Back to Earth (2009), Holly is depicted as being non-functioning after being washed out by a nine-year-overflowing bath, and is still evidently non-functioning as of "Twentica" (2016). The last mention of Holly is in "Fathers and Suns" (2012) when Kryten mentions that he misses him. In Series X the ship is instead run by the JMC On-Board Computer in Holly's absence. The On-Board Computer is not a character but rather an automated system that does not seem to have artificial intelligence and behaves as if the ship is still fully staffed and operating normally, at one point even threatening to demote Rimmer for not showing up to work in three million years.
