The Space Cruiser is an interdisciplinary vehicle designed and built by engineer-scientist Rick Sanchez with the aim of making space travel an easier and faster task for him. The space cruiser is tens of millions or hundreds of millions times faster than the speed of light because it overcomes several thousand light years in less than an hour. Rick's space transport apparently works on the warp engine warping and accelerating space-time of the universe around the ship which is also used by other higher alien species in their space transport.
Engine and abilities[]
Microverse-based powercell[]
The Engine Repair kit, bought on Gazorpazorpazon.
The Microverse-based powercell is the main powercell of the vehicle, whom in-habitants possess a culture based on the belief that the vehicle owner, Richard Sánchez, is an extraterrestrial lifeform with the sole purpose of spreading his knowledge in electricity. The powercell produces the energy required to power the vehicle's engine, while also distributing a minor part of it to its in-habitants.
Dark-matter based engine[]
The engine processors located on both sides of the ship are connected to a supply of concentrated dark-matter, a powerful fuel discovered by Richard Sanchez with the purpose of powering his engine. The engines are equipped to support the energy charge of the fuel while also distributing it to the rest of the systems.

Trivia[]
- In the Pilot episode, Rick asks Morty if he likes the Space Cruiser and remarks he made it out of stuff he found in the garage. This implies Rick only built the ship around the time of the series inception.
- The Space Cruiser is also shown to have a sail attached to the back of it in only this episode. It is never seen again after the Pilot.
- A flashback in "Rickmurai Jack" shows that Rick previously invented a space cruiser in his youth, but it was destroyed when he crashed into the house. Based on their very similar shapes, it is likely Rick used remnants of the destroyed cruiser to make the one seen in the series' present.
- The space cruiser was partially inspired by the spaceship that Calvin's imaginary character, Spaceman Spiff owned in the comic strip Calvin And Hobbes.
- The Space Cruiser shares some simiiatries with the TARDIS from Doctor Who and GLaDOS from Portal.
- The ship's AI is modeled after the voice of Rick's late wife Diane.
