You mean airplanes? [ Or— you know what, he'll just cover all of it, how's that. ] We have airplanes, shuttles, hover cars and bikes, and also starships. It depends on what sort of traveling you're going for. We also have transporters, so a vessel isn't always required when you're trying to move from one place to another.
