The HMS Aquitaine was a spaceship that was stationed on the outer fringes of a black hole.
Its crew consisted of Dr Sergei Akunin, Captain Anna Maynard, Lt Maurizio Savinio, Lt Freya Jennings and the ship's central computer intelligence, Hargreaves. It was equipped with a botanical garden which was partially used by Dr. Akunin to study alien plant life during the ship's travels. (AUDIO: Aquitaine)
