Space Ball

Space Ball are a type of spaceship used by some species for interplanetary travel.

Function
The Space Balls used incredible technology and even though it is only 1.5 m in diameter, it houses an advanced environmental system and an incredibly fuel-efficient faster-than-light drive. Those traveling inside the ball are kept in a state of suspended animation that minimizes the resources needed to keep them alive.

Space Balls also have enough fuel to travel for 3 years without stopping, but the environmental systems were needed to be replenished every 6 months. To replenish the environmental system, the ball can simply enter the atmosphere of a planet that would be even partially habitable to the occupant for 10 minutes. The ball can travel at a maximum speed of 3 light-years per hour. This often has consequences for the destination point, as the extreme speed often causes massive explosions upon impact, wiping out everything within a certain radius and leaving nothing but a massive crater in it's place. Specialized landing pads can reduce the damage to non-existent. The balls themselves are heavily armored from the outside to prevent any damage during landing, but the interior is incredibly fragile, as a simple Stashik blast can destroy an Attack Ball from the inside. They also seemingly do not need any external force for takeoff, being self sufficient enough to launch themselves into space on their own.

The balls have a remote control, as demonstrated by the Daskarian Jaujeta, which allows the owners to recall their pods to their location or trigger a self-destruction, among other potential functions. The controllers look like a watch.

There was also a much larger variant of Space Balls, which is capable of transporting a four man team to another planet.
