Join us as we look into what life would be like aboard the guerrilla warrior's dream ship, The Liberator!
In a future where humanity has spread itself amongst the stars, only to be dominated by an oppressive and frankly psychotic Terran Federation, it doesn’t take a hero to see the need to escape t o the stars. For the majority of the population not dosed with an array of sedatives and designer drugs designed to make you more compliant, a trip off world will likely mean a trip on board a Federation starship to some outer colony to mine raw materials, if you live long enough to get there anyway.
But deep in the void, another force grows in strength and curiosity. The computer-enthralled subjects of The System, and their fleet of highly advanced spaceships. One such craft was known as Deep Space Vehicle 2, a ship alien in concept, and even more alien in design. Ownership of such a vessel may just have the influence and power to turn the tide against humanity’s oppressors.. but what would it be like to live there?

Life Aboard is a series dedicated to examining what it would be like to live, work and serve aboard some of science fiction's most notorious spaceships. Forget the laser cannons, the made up technobabble and let's ask ourselves what the important questions are - how's breakfast, and where do I sleep?
