Rick's Space Cruiser

**Warning** - the following entry is incomplete!

Rick's Space Cruiser is a ship built by Rick Sanchez.

## Appearance

In it's first appearance in the show, Rick's Space Cruiser is a flying saucer made out of "*Stuff [Rick] found in the garage*." It uses garbage cans for thrusters, handheld flashlights duct taped to the front for lights, old car seats, and bumper stickers. It also had a sail attached to the back which appeared only in the pilot episode and was never seen again.

It was later shown that the bulk of the trash cruiser belonged to the original space cruiser. The original had been built in Rick's youth, and appeared very similar to the rebuilt one seen earlier in the series. It was a single pilot seat as opposed to the three to five seater built later. It sported a spoiler where the original had none, used landing struts rather than wheels, and sported an antenna. Overall it was much more sturdily built.

Even further still, Rick presumably built a new version of the ship. This version was much more high-concept than the others. It had neither wheels nor landing struts and simply set itself down where necessary. This version had thrusters tied to large angular wings and a large aft dorsal fin. It appeared as a mix between the original drunkenly built cruiser and the very first cruiser built in Rick's youth.

## History

### Season 1

Chronologically it was first constructed by Rick in his youth in order to seek out his family's killer (another Rick) who eluded him almost indefinitely. He went travelling and eventually helped Bird Person and Squanchy fight the Gromflomites. He would later travel around, mindlessly slaughtering other Ricks in a futile bid that one of them was the killer. After ceasing his genocide and reconciling with a number of surviving Ricks he drunkenly crashed the Space Cruiser into the Smith residence garage.

It is unknown how long Rick spent before re-constructing the space cruiser but he did so drunkenly and took Morty out of bed late at night to showcase it and drop a neutrino bomb on the world below. Morty took control of the situation but may or may not have successfully disarmed the active neutrino bomb.

Rick first and lastly showcases the driving aspect of the space cruiser in the subsequent episode (only choosing to fly it here on after.) They take it to Mr. Goldenfold's house in order to incept him into giving Morty A's in math.

Following this Rick then used the space cruiser to throw his pet project, Ruben, into space and enlarge him in order to rescue Morty and the surviving member(s) of Anatomy Park.

Rick then uses it to save Morty from school after his "love potion" backfired and made people obsessively seek Morty's genes. He used a feature of the ship to launch a new cure on Earth to undo the effects and in doing so turned everyone into Mantis monsters. He landed in the same location he had in the pilot episode and began constructing a new potion, unleashing it on the world and causing even more mayhem.

### Season 2

Rick later taught Morty how to drive by having him drive in space. Upon remembering Jerry was in the cruiser, Rick had Morty take him to the Jerryboree to avoid being killed. After this, Rick had Morty take him to a parking garage to make an arms deal so as to spend a day at Blips and Chitz. Morty, being disgusted with Rick's arms deal, left with the cruiser to stop Krombopulous Michael (Rick's buyer) from assassinating a cloud-like entity, accidentally killing Michael in the process. Morty continued driving the cruiser for the remainder of the episode until they got to the cloud entity's desired location.

While present in another universe, Rick and Morty entered the cruiser's battery while Summer stayed behind in the cruiser. With orders to protect Summer, the space cruiser showcased a number of options for protecting Summer while conforming to her demands on how to protect her without causing loss of life.

While travelling through space a bug splattered on the windshield. Lacking sufficient wiper fluid, Rick landed on a nearby planet to acquire more, after hearing about the planet's yearly festival resembling the Purge, Rick made the decision to stay behind and watch. Morty then had Rick help a girl who was in danger which later resulted in her injuring Rick and stealing the cruiser. After some time, Rick and Morty came across the crashed cruiser.

Rick took his family to Birdperson's wedding but after a confrontation with federal agents, Rick took the family in a caterer's van, leaving the ship at the venue. It is unknown how it returned to Rick's possession following this incident.

### Season 3

Following this, Rick also took Jerry to a resort where he would be unable to die. Upon the destruction of the resort, Rick and Jerry headed to a nearby station to leave the planet. It is unknown if the cruiser was damaged and if Rick had to reconstruct it. If it was not damaged this would mark the second occasion in which Rick left his cruiser behind.

Later still, Rick and Morty used the cruiser in a *Star Wars*-like rebel run on an organic Death Star-esque structure.

### Season 4

At the beginning of Season 4, Rick took Morty to mine death crystals on Forbodulon Prime. Morty obtained a death crystal and foresaw dying with his high school crush, Jessica. Wanting this dream to come true he asked Rick if he could drive and was given permission to do so. After taking the wheel, Morty steered the ship violently around the surface, prompting Rick to attempt seizing control which resulted in the cruiser crashing and Rick being ejected to his death. Small drones began repairs almost immediately after the crash.

While travelling through space, Rick's cruiser hit something and the tire was damaged, prompting Rick to get out and make a repair. Morty wanting to also get out and be in space was bitten by a snake in space and killed it. In doing so Rick had to make a stop at the snake's home planet to concoct an anti-venom. Morty, feeling guilty for the snake's death, bought a boa constrictor named Slippy and stuffed it into the dead snake's space suit. After this issue created a *Terminator* outcome, Rick took Morty back to the planet to fix the issue.

Rick, Morty and Summer travelled to a seemingly random location and stopped to investigate face-hugger eggs. After being taken over and failing to take over Summer (who had a toothpick in her mouth,) they created an entire society. Morty (being controlled by Steve) used the cruiser to create a device that would allow them to spread the message of Glorzo (or just plant eggs on Earth.) Rick and Morty later came free of Steve and Bruce and stole back the cruiser, electing to commit a genocide for the hell of it.

### Season 5

After narrowly escaping from a closing tear in space-time, Morty accidentally crashed the cruiser into the ocean (seemingly the Pacific, although possibly the Atlantic.) This caused Mr. Nimbus to arise from the depths to chastise Rick for breaking their previous contract.

Summer and Morty, wanting to impress a cool new kid at school, decided to take the cruiser out for a joyride. While stopped at a diner it became attracted to a Changeformer who insulted it for being just a car. Blackmailed by the cruiser; Morty, Summer, and Bruce were forced to help the cruiser fake being a Changeformer. After it was revealed it "had passengers," it killed all the Changeformers in the room, resulting in Morty, Summer, and Bruce being arrested for homicide. It blew up the police station after rescuing the three and quickly returned home in time to prevent their adventure from being uncovered by Rick.

### Season 6

After an incident with portal fluid, Rick winds up in his original dimension and constructs a new version of the cruiser to get home.

While waging a war with their nighttime selves, the Smith family attempts to use the cruiser to leave, however Morty accidentally trips a trip wire, causing the cruiser to explode. Rick then replaces this model with the "original" model made of trash.
