Return to Cowboy Bebop Starship Codex

The Bebop is an interplanetary fishing trawler owned and captained by Jet Black. It is the primary residence and transport for a crew that consists of Jet, Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine, Edward, and Ein. The ship has traveled throughout the Solar System to places such as Mars, Tijuana, Ganymede, Venus, and Earth.

Originally built to catch and transport fish from the seas of Ganymede, the Bebop was purchased second-hand by Jet, who installed larger engines and upgraded the communication system.

The Bridge features a helm and a navigational console. The navigational console seems much more modern than the technology we usually see in the *Bebop*. For example, the console is a big touch screen like a tablet.

• • An ocean surface ship is a minimum of size category Colossal Type 16, and has a maximum size of Titanic Type 10.

• • Water Line, is the part of the ocean surface ship that actually is under water, and thus the last place you would want your vehicle to be punctured. Targeting a ocean surface ships water line is the same as targeting a system on the called shots table. A ocean surface ship hit below the water line takes on 1d4 x ½ damage dealt in gallons of water each round until the ocean surface ship has taken on enough water to sink. A ocean surface ship can take on a number of gallons equal to 20 plus 20 gallons for every size category the ocean surface ship is above medium.
