The Unreliable is a Yakita LHA one-twenty, A-two[1] Apex Transport starship, constructed in 2325, that the Stranger uses to travel across Halcyon. It is the player character's mobile base. The ship's systems are managed by the AI ADA.
Background[]
Originally christened the Reliable, it came into the possession of Captain Alex Hawthorne sometime prior to 2355, and was used for various illicit activities across the Halcyon system. Captain Hawthorne was presumably responsible for renaming the ship with the humorous prefix, as can be inferred by the hastily-scribbled lettering atop the vessel’s registration plaque. Hawthorne was hired by Phineas Vernon Welles in 2355 to aid the Stranger in a bid to liberate the colonists of the Hope, a late-arriving colony ship that the Halcyon Holdings Corporate Board decided to abandon and cover up. After Hawthorne's accidental death on Terra 2, the Stranger assumed ownership of the vessel and set about searching for a new power regulator for it.
Hawthorne was responsible for ADA's programming and modification. He made her solely responsible for the ship's operating and navigation systems and conceived ADA her own personality to make the crew instance more enjoyable during their travels. He also installed a shock-trap on the airlock in the event of an invasion.[2]
Layout[]
The ship consists of two main levels: the upper deck, which contains the crew quarters, the galley, and the bathroom; and the lower deck, which contains the control room, docking platform, and cargo bay. The captain's quarters are located between the upper and lower decks.
In the cargo bay, there is a workbench on the lower level and a respec bench on the upper level. The ship's engine room is also located on the upper floor of the cargo bay.

Notes[]
- According to a blueprint-like diagram that appears cycling between the screens in the ship’s cockpit, the Unreliable is a Standard Light Freighter, manufactured (or at least designed) by a Weyland-Tyrell Corporation.
- The same set of cycling images also includes a diagram for the ship’s reactor/Skip Drive core, whose small annotations read: "Spins Really Fast", and "You Break, You Buy".
