The IFcoltrans1 as seen in Ender in Exile (Comic Book).
The IFcoltrans1, nicknamed Mrs Morgan by its crew, and called the Good Ship Lollipop by Valentine Wiggin, was an International Fleet colony ship.[1]
Description[]
The ship's lightspeed ability was powered by an Egg Drive. The engines of the ship were used for maneuvering around planets only and for speeding up. Once they reached 1% of lightspeed, the Egg Drive was turned on.[1]
There was the mess hall, and the library was for serious research by ship's personnel; passengers had full access to the contents of the library on their own desks in their staterooms. The officers' and crew's lounges were open to passengers by invitation only, and such invitations were rare. The theater was good for viewing holos and vids, or for gathering all the passengers for a meeting or announcement.[1]
In Ender in Exile (Comic Book), the ship is a sleek black with blue lights.[2]
History[]
Ender in Exile[]
The IFcoltrans1 was the first-ever human colony ship. Captained by Admiral Quincy Morgan, the ship's maiden voyage was to the first human colony world of Shakespeare, carrying Ender and Valentine Wiggin, among others. The ship left Eros in 1 AX and arrived on Shakespeare in 41 AX.[1]
After arriving at Shakespeare, it docked with the warship that brought the original colonists to the planet around 0 AX. Without supplies for a return journey, the warship was left as a huge satellite in geosynchronous orbit directly over the colony site. Solar power was enough to keep its computers and communications running for forty years. The crew of IFcoltrans1 would service and refit the transport, giving it a captain and crew, and would voyage on to another colony.[1]
After delivering supplies and the colonists to the planet, the IFcoltrans1 left Shakespeare to return to the Sol System.[1]
