Moya

Moya is the ship and main setting of Farscape. She is a leviathan, a race of living, intelligent ships. Navigation is provided by a Pilot, a creature who is directly connected to the leviathan's nervous system. The Pilot also speaks for the leviathan, allowing her to communicate with the crew. Maintenance is performed by a bevy of DRDs, small wheeled robots with manipulator and tool arms. Leviathans have no defenses except the ability to starburst, a semi-random jump from one point in space to another.

At the beginning of the show, Moya is a slave of the Peace Keepers, being used as a prison ship. Three of the prisoners aboard her, Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, Ka D'Argo, and Rygel, engineer an escape. During the escape two others, John Crichton and Aeryn Sun, are brought on board. These together become Moya's new crew.

During the show, Moya becomes pregnant as part of a Peace Keeper breeding experiment. The child, Talin, has been genetically modified to be a warship.
