How about The Venture, from this [link] classic book which you all should read RIGHT NOW.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our wings are not tired
Okay, I have to tell my total geek Khan story. I did a show a few years ago in the Ricardo Montalban Theatre here in LA and at one point during tech while the crew was working on stage I ran up to the balcony, stood on the edge and yelled "KHANNNNNNNNN!" at the top of my lungs. Most people had no idea what I was doing but 3 of the crew almost fell over laughing.
Also, as a result of that gig I have Ricardo's voice giving the preshow announcement on my hard drive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I have a Pegasus. It's the WinXP partition on one of my rental iMacs I think.
I do not have a Yamato. I'm going to add that to my list as well. It's also great because it is the ship from Star Blazers.
