The Hesperus was a type of spaceship made by the Vinvocci race, a group of Humanoids with spiky green skin. It was a salvage vessel, chiefly used to trawl asteroid fields for junk. (DW: The End of Time)
Description
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)
Armament
Though not intended for combat, the Hesperus was armed with asteroid lasers to blast away meteors and asteroids. These lasers proved sufficent to destroy Human made missiles. (DW: The End of Time)
Behind the scenes
- The Hesperus's name was never used on-screen. However, it was mentioned in the Doctor Who Confidential episode for part two of The End of Time.
