==Description==
[[Category:Planets]]
The Hesperus was some two hundred to three hundred feet in length, and shaped like a sort of fish or bird-like creature, with the bridge in the head. It had a dorsal fin-like apparatus on top, which appeared to be used for stabilization when inside a [[planet]]'s atmosphere. It had two further fins on angles on it's underside. It had thrusters in the rear, and rows of yellowish lights running along the head. ([[DW]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

Though not intended for combat, the Hesperus was armed with [[asteroid]] lasers to blast away [[Meteorite|meteors]] and asteroids. These lasers proved sufficent to destroy [[Human]] made missiles. ([[DW]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
