The Capsule Corporation Spaceship (カプセル宇宙船 Kapuseru Uchūsen)[1] is a ship made by Capsule Corporation that was used to travel throughout space.

The first Capsule Corporation spaceship was made for Goku by Dr. Brief out of the scraps of Goku's original spaceship that brought him to Earth. Brief made the spaceship with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a training room that included an intense gravity simulation machine that goes up to 100x Earth's gravity. Goku used the spaceship to travel to Planet Namek while training using the Gravity Machine over the next six days, slowly increasing the gravity from 20x to 50x then to 100x. After five days of training, Goku relaxed and rested himself on the sixth day, arriving just in time to save Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta from the Ginyu Force. After transforming into a Super Saiyan for the first time, Goku told Gohan to take Piccolo and Bulma to the spaceship that he used to get here (although Gohan, Piccolo, Bulma are later teleported from Namek to Earth thanks to Porunga). After Goku's long fight with Frieza, Goku didn't have enough time to make it to his spaceship so he had to use the Ginyu Force's Attack Ball. The first Capsule Corporation spaceship was destroyed during Planet Namek's destruction.

The second Capsule Corporation spaceship was made completely from scratch by Dr. Brief due to Chi-Chi's constant demands. After its completion, Chi-Chi, along with Master Roshi, Yajirobe, Puar and Oolong board the spaceship to go to Namek. However, it shut down completely upon lift off and nearly exploded. It is unknown if the second Capsule Corporation spaceship had the gravity simulation machine that was in the previous model.

Capsule ship 3[]

The Capsule Corporation spaceship used by Vegeta for training

The third Capsule Corporation spaceship was built by Brief and later used by Vegeta to search for Goku in space after he disappeared at the end of the Frieza Saga.

After returning to Earth with it, Vegeta also used its Gravity Machine (which was modified to 500x gravity) to train for the Androids in three years time in the opening of the Trunks Saga. Vegeta accidentally destroyed it when overstraining himself in his training and was hospitalized as a result.

After a later one was built, Vegeta used it continue his training and Piccolo used it to go to New Planet Vegeta after sensing Broly's ki in his Legendary Super Saiyan form, and allowed Krillin, Oolong, Roshi, and the Shamoians to use it to escape from New Planet Vegeta before it was destroyed by Comet Camori.

This model was also implied to contain a transwarp device as shortly after New Planet Vegeta was destroyed it warped in, although it ended up receiving dents in the process. It was also seen in Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler and Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans.

Trivia[]

  • The ship's speed is calculated to be between 1075 and 1575c, the same as that of the Attack Ball it is based on, deduced by comparing its performance to the Nameless Namekian's Spaceship, completing the same journey between Earth and Namek in one-fifth of the time, six days compared to a month of its counterpart.
