Naw Renegade Admiral Zaarin cripled the Empire and the Rebels took advantage.

Sador's flagship from Battle Beyond the Stars.

It's big, it's bad, and it has a STELLAR CONVERTER!

Not to mention hordes of malmouri flunkies to do your evil bidding, and a decent ground assault element, with sonic tank.

Just the thing for would-be iron-fisted dictators.

Out of sheer nostalgia, my fighter would have to be this one:

Capt. William "Buck" Rogers would be proud of you.

That's a nice looking ship, Oxy! I had that as a kid, but never knew what show it was from.

My choice: Borg Cube

Okay, one ship per universe.

Star Wars: Millenium Falcon, the original hyperspace-capable hot rod. Complete down to the fuzzy dice hanging in the cockpit. 'Nuff said.

Star Trek: The Delta Flyer from ST:Voyager. All the utility and clean lines of DS9's runabouts, but with that same ubercool hot rod mentality. And hey -- a Star Fleet vessel with real controls--joystick and throttle -- instead of a stupid touchpad.

Babylon Five: Earthforce's atmospheric shuttles -- especially for the way they landed horizontally, but launched vertically -- are one of the most believable transports I've seen in TV SF.

Space:1999: The Eagle class in general would be the obvious choice, but I'll be specific and choose the long-range variation with the modified heavy-lift modular unit and strap-on booster packs that was first seen in the episode The Metamorph.

Space Rangers: The hero's patrol craft, Tin Lizzie; An early example of CGI-driven FX on the small screen. It was in some ways an interesting show, a western in space with realistic firearms instead of zap guns. A bit ahead of it's time, perhaps... Oddly enough, despite the fact that it wasn't broadcast on Fox, it was still cancelled quickly.

Red Dwarf: Starbug, which I have always thought of as a late-model Volksraumschiff.

Firefly: Serenity. (Big surprise).

As you can see, I have a weakness for smaller ships, especially cargo craft, and vessels with the potential to be converted into smuggler's rigs. Must'a been a rumrunner in a past life...
