Minivan

The smaller vehicles which can be despatched from the *Praxis* to get people places without bringing the entire cathedral along are colloquially referred to, originally by Roger and adopted by Simon then rapidly the rest of the acolytes, as minivans. Other terms used for them include shuttlecraft, dropship, lighter, etc but a true Prax knows what a minivan is.

The ship has a pretty sturdy little complement of such craft which range in size from the handful of not-much-bigger-than-a-literal-minivan (or at least a short bus) people-movers to the largest one, named *We-Haul*, which is big enough to pull one of the little ones into it. Well, the largest one that Acolytes can sign out - there are definitely other vessels docked down in the bottom of the cathedral and those other vessels might include things that put *We-Haul* to shame.

The standard vans are a mix of makes and models from around the Imperium, collected onto the ship over years as earlier ones have been lost to the There Is Only War and replacements have been acquired at need. They all have names, of course, and the names follow no theme. Some of them include *:*

* *Seventh Providential Miracle*
* *Replete With Bangers*
* *Righteousness At His Left Hand*
* *Marshmallow Fluff*
* *S&H Green Stamps Bought This Ride*
* *Marjoram & Thistle* (a really wild, extremely oldschool steam-carriage type of space conveyance)

### the original antique vans

When *Praxis* first left dock under her original name she was outfitted with a set of adorably tiny little Duyver vans. They're far too small to be of practical use to the Inquisition, which is full of tall people whose knees dig in to the opposite bench when they try to fold themselves in, but (1) they're an original part of the ship and (2) they're absolutely gorgeous on the inside, so they're still around and you can check them out if you really want to, they're just sort of set aside in storage, not in the rotation. Each has its own Art Deco style inlay image on the inside of the rear hatch:

* *The Schutte* features a waterfall between two jagged peaks, the water rendered in variously-sized triangles made of dozens of slightly-different shades of silver metal, the peaks made of polished slabs of dark igneous rock.
* *Glory of the Emperor* features an icon of the Emperor Radiant mainly done in gold tones.
* *Abundance* has a stylized tree which comes off sort of menorah-shaped, its leaves in patina'd copper and various annealed metals that have turned iridescently green.
* *His Whetstone* (an abbreviated quotation from one of the holy books; a martial reference) depicts a wall of swords, the blades crossed over each other to create a sort of herringbone pattern.

(one for each duy plus one for the emperor u see)

### other private vehicles

Roger has his own ride, which fits into the greater "minivan" category although it's a sportier Speeder model in a small-world's indigenous make because he and Simon are hipsters together about things like that. Simon has his own personal craft as well, which is *not* a minivan. Roger's ride is named *Party Adjutant*.

Simon has the *Hirondel*, a two-seater sports ride (you sit bobsled-style) which is known for being "too much boat" and is intended to be flown while the pilot is literally jacked in to the controls. Roger is quite proud of himself for being able to fly it unplugged.
