Starships and space exploration has always
been an enduring theme of science fiction.
From traveling through hyperspace to making
the Kessel Run in under twelve parsecs, over
the years, writers and filmmakers have stretched
what starships are capable of and dreamed
of something greater.
They've sent us all over the galaxy, putting
us into intense space battles, and flying
us through impossible asteroid fields.
So, out of all the starships which are the
coolest?
I'm Mike with List25 and Here are 25 Coolest
Starships In Sci-Fi.
25.
Trimaxion Drone Ship - The Trimaxion Drone
Ship is the main spacecraft in the movie Flight
of the Navigator.
It's piloted by the AI computer Max and looks
kind of like a chrome clamshell.
The ability of the ship is pretty outstanding,
capable of flying faster than the speed of
light and traveling through time.
24.
Derelict - Called the Derelict and codenamed
Origin, the alien spacecraft was found on
LV-426 in the movie Alien.
It was first discovered by the Weyland-Yutani
Corporation before being investigated by the
team of the Nostromo.
No one knows how it got there or who piloted
it.
The only remaining figure as the potential
pilot was a fossilized being.
Regardless, it remains the cool and ominous
ship which housed the Xenomorph Eggs.
23.
Serenity - Captained by Malcolm Reynolds on
the television show Firefly, the Serenity
is a Firefly-class ship first acquired by
Reynolds shortly after the Unification War.
A defining feature of the ship is its lack
of weapons.
When in trouble, the crew has to use their
ingenuity to get out of it.
Plus, there's no denying it's one sweet looking
ship.
22.
Slave I - Piloted by Boba Fett in The Empire
Strikes Back, Slave I famously transported
Han Solo in carbonite, delivering him to Jabba
the Hutt.
Slave I's most defining feature is its vertical
position as it soars through space and then
using its back to land.
21.
TARDIS - The TARDIS in the television show
Dr. Who, which stands for "Time and Relative
Dimension in Space," is really more of a materialization
machine, capable of appearing and reappearing
in a moments time.
However, it can also fly through space like
a conventional starship.
It's also very different from other starships
in that the exterior is in a different dimension
from the interior, it can blend into its surroundings,
and rather than being built, they're grown.
(TARDIS: GET OUT!)
Oh...
20.
BORG Cube - While the BORG Cube's shape is
relatively uninteresting, its overwhelming
size and ominous appearance make resistance
futile to its terrors.
First appearing in Star Trek: The Next Generation,
the BORG Cube is a starship populated by the
BORG, a collective of cyborgs who work together
with the sole intent to conquer.
19.
Jupiter II - The Jupiter II spacecraft was
meant to take the Robinson family to Alpha
Prime in the television show and movie Lost
in Space.
Traditionally a flying saucer-like starship,
it was slightly modified for the movie.
Either way, it's a classic ship, and at least
within its own mythology, the most powerful
space ship known to man.
18.
Klingon Bird of Prey - Used as a warship by
the Klingon Empire in Star Trek, the Klingon
Bird of Prey always felt rather menacing when
it appeared before the USS Enterprise.
While its firepower varied from ship to ship,
its photon torpedos were not something you
wanted to mess with and packed quite a punch.
Of all its prowess, its cloaking device made
it most successful in battle.
17.
UNSC Infinity - The UNSC Infinity is a behemoth
supercarrier in the video game Halo.
Designed using scraps of alien technology,
the Infinity is the largest ship in the UNSC
Navy and has quite a lot of firepower to boot.
With thousands of missiles and hundreds of
automatic cannons, it's a military powerhouse.
But it also has the ability to house thousands
of troops and other combat units.
16.
Discovery 1 - 2001: A Space Odyssey is a film
classic, and its starship, Discovery 1, is
almost as iconic.
Built to travel on a manned mission to Jupiter,
the Discovery 1 doesn't have any weapons,
but it does have one of the most advanced
artificial intelligence systems known to man,
HAL 9000.
15.
O'Neill - In Stargate, the O'Neill is one
of the most advanced and powerful Asgard starships.
With its top-of-the-line weapons and shields,
it was fully designed to fight and defeat
the Replicators.
14.
Mothership (Independence Day) - The gargantuan
disc-like motherships from the movie Independence
Day created a sense of awe and horror as they
covered New York City.
Even more terrifying was the massive laser
blast coming out of the middle of the spaceship,
obliterating everything in its wake.
13.
Battlestar Galactica - The Battlestar Galactica
from the television show of the same name
has a killer design and a fabled history.
Considered a relic in its mythos, it was scheduled
to be decommissioned before it became the
sole defender of humanity after the Cylon
attack on the Twelve Colonies.
12.
Normandy SR-2 - The Normandy SR-2, in the
video game Mass Effect 2, has an especially
cool exterior design.
As a successor to the SR-1, it was built to
help Commander Shepard stop the Collectors
from abducting humans.
It's equipped with several high-tech weapons
and defenses and is able to be upgraded throughout
the game.
In fact, not upgrading the ship could be the
difference between life or death for the crew.
11.
USS Enterprise - How could I not include the
USS Enterprise from Star Trek?
Granted, you're probably wondering which version
of the ship we're choosing.
In this case, the NCC-1701 wins, hands down.
Yes, many of the other ships are stellar,
but the original, captained by James T. Kirk
himself, still beats them all.
Though I am a HUGE fan of the J.J. Abrams
version of this ship.
It's really cool looking.
And blue.
Well the, the lights are blue.
What?
(James: Lots of lens flares) Lots of lens
flares!
10.
SSV Normandy SR-1 - While the SSV Normandy
SR-1 isn't as powerful as its successor the
SR-2, it's still an incredible ship used solely
for scouting with its state-of-the-art stealth
technology.
Let's face it.
Without the SR-1, there would have been no
SR-2.
9.
Imperial Star Destroyer - In Star Wars, the
Imperial Star Destroyer was part of the Empire's
massive fleet to maintain control and order
in the galaxy.
For years, with its massive size and a large
array of weaponry, it symbolized the dominate
power of the Empire.
8.
Mothership (Close Encounters) - There's no
denying the Mothership from Close Encounters
of the Third Kind is an awe-inspiring sight.
With its array of flashing lights and colors
and its enormous size, the Mothership lures
you in like a moth to a flame.
7.
Tie Fighter - The Tie Fighter in Star Wars
is one of the coolest and most unique looking
ships in the galaxy.
While it doesn't have shields, hyper-drive,
or even life-support systems, its quick engine
and maneuverability make it a hard target
to hit.
6.
X-Wing - Used by some of the best fighter
pilots in the galaxy, the X-Wing is a starship
of choice for the rebellion and proved critical
in the Battles of Yavin and Endor.
Forming the "X" shape with it's S-Foils when
in attack formation, these fighters are heavily
armed with four laser cannons and proton torpedos.
Poe Dameron's X-Wing is my favorite style
of X-Wing.
It's awesome!
5.
Darth Vader's Tie Advanced - Leading Black
Squadron during the Battle of Yavin, Darth
Vader's Tie Advanced is a seriously awesome
starship.
The slightly modified design alone sets it
apart, but it also has better cannons, a hyperdrive,
and a shield generator, putting it above and
beyond the standard model.
Standard.
Darth Vader.
And TIE Interceptor.
TIE Bomber kinda looks like that too.
4.
Narada - The Narada from J.J. Abrams rebooted
Star Trek is a Romulan mining vessel captained
by Nero.
Its large and spiky exterior is immediately
intimidating, which other than the advanced
weaponry it carried, is its greatest advantage.
3.
Milano - In the movie The Guardians of the
Galaxy, The Milano is an M-Ship class starship
used by Starlord to find a mysterious Orb
and sell it in order to get away from Yondu
and his gang.
It later played a pivotal role in the Battle
of Xandar.
Starlord named it after his childhood crush,
Alyssa Milano.
2.
USCSS Nostromo - In Alien, the USCSS Nostromo
was captained by Arthur Dallas and was the
starfreighter which investigated the Derelict,
leading to the eventual birth of a lone Xenomorph.
1.
Millenium Falcon - The Millenium Falcon is
without question the best starship in all
of science fiction.
Fight me.
Its super cool design, gritty and worn out
exterior, incredible speed, plus the fact
that its piloted by Han Solo, puts it well
above the rest.
It can make 0.5 past light speed and made
the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.
Just like Lando says, "She's the fastest hunk
of junk in the galaxy."
So what's your favorite starship?
Let us know in the comments below.
And why is it the Millenium Falcon?
