Name: Red Dwarf
Aka: "The Small Rouge One",
"Red Trashcan with 3,000,000 years on the clock"
Owned by: Jupiter Mining Corporation (J.M.C.) Built
in the "Paradise Bay Ship Yard" off of Deimos in 23rd century probably
Size: 6 miles long, 3 miles wide
Ship's computer: Holly, IQ
6000
Top speed: (Light speed + a bit, needs over 3,000,000
years to reach this speed thou)
Method of propulsion: Hydrogen engines, fuel collected
via large scope at front
Equipment: Quark level antimater generator, shipwide bio-organic
networking and a Kariokie bar on C Deck, research lab on Z deck.
Crew: 1,169 + lab mice (Floor 13/Brig holds 400 inmates)
or maybe 52,169, the reason for the confustion is that Lister's ID number is
"RD52169" which as he is the lowest rank on Red Dwarf would mean he is the last person
listed making his ID match the number of crew onboard. (I hope that explains it :) )
Captain: Captain. Hollistor
Original Purpose: Mining ship, mission to bring ore back
to Earth from outer colonies
New Mission: To get back to Earth after taking a 3,000,000
year detour.due to the radition leak.

Noteable facts:
Only one of original crew still alive (Dave
Lister, 3rd technician).
The ship's computer had a head sex change after a trip to an
alternative dimension.
The ship is maintained by the service droids called Skutters,
the exact number is unknown.
There are three (at least) stasis chambers which can be used
for `Boothing' and for punishment ie. In Listers case. They were
originally created to allow interstellar travel but as ships became
faster they were no longer needed.
Was stolen after Series 5 by Kryten's Nanobots who turned it
into a small moon.
Was rebuilt by Kryten's Nanobots on the insistence of Kryten
during Nanarchy complete with improvments ie. Was reconstructed
according to the JMC orginal specification before they made all
its cut backs.
Floor 13 aka the brig aka 'The Tank'
Described as an old style penal establishment, aboundant wildlife,
200 bedrooms all with ensuite buckets.
Was transporting 400 prisoners to Adlphie 12.
Lister and Rimmer are housed in G - Tower where all the staff
are mad.
For reward for good behaviour, they move you to the luxury
block on D-wing. Everything's really nice there; they even shampoo
the rats. Groom their tails and everything.
