The Swinetrek (Deep Dish Nine)



Although not referred to by name on-screen, The Swinetrek is the implied name of the second model of starship for space-faring pigs as seen in Pigs in Space: Deep Dish Nine on Muppets Tonight.

Much like its predecessor, the original Swinetrek on The Muppet Show, this craft has been built in the shape of a pig. The re-positioned propulsion engines give the ship an added likeness to The Sphinx.

The bridge of the ship, again similar to the first of its name, houses three chairs positioned behind a control console, and a larger viewscreen behind the crew.

Its artificial gravity can be turned on and off again at the will of its crew, its weapons locker houses various ray-guns, and a voice-operated computer.

The ship holds the distinction of having once been invaded by the dreaded Princess Vendela, who kidnaps the male members of the crew who leave their posts to become willing slaves.
