	Sleeper ship - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		A sleeper ship is a late 20th to early 21st century Earth space vessel in which the crew could be placed into suspended animation for all or part of the journey.
		The term "sleeper ship" was only ever explicitly applied to the SS Botany Bay, although it is possible that DY-500 class ships could also be called this.
		Other ships that utilized stasis chambers (a technology apparently broadly synonymous with "suspended animation" in VOY: "One"), such as the Klingon ship the T'Ong in TNG: "The Emissary", were not referred to by that term.

	Encyclopedia of General Culture: Sleeper ship
		A sleeper ship is a hypothetical type of manned spaceship in which most or all of the crew spends the journey in some form of hibernation or suspended animation.
		The most common role of sleeper ships in fiction is for interstellar travel, usually at slower-than-light speed.
		The Nostromo in the film Alien, and the Sulaco in the film Aliens, are sleeper ships, as are all vessels encountered in the Alien franchise (the sleep cells are portrayed in every movie except Alien: Resurrection).

	Dy100 Class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The ship was intended from interstellar travel but did not posses a warp drive that wouldn’t be invented for another 70 years; as a result the crew had to be placed in a state of suspended animation for the trip.
		DY-100 class ships were also known to be used as a way of escaping the aftermath of Earth's Eugenic wars.
		All DY-100 ships were retired in the early 21th century with improvements in sublight technology.

	sleeper ship
		The most common role of sleeper ships in fiction is for interstellar travel, usually at speeds much lower than that of light.
		Suspended animation is also useful in reducing consumption of life support resources by crewmembers who aren't needed during the trip, and for this reason sleeper ships sometimes also make an appearance in the context of purely interplanetary travel.
		In 2001: A Space Odyssey, for example, a ship travels to Jupiter (Saturn, in the book) with most of its crew in suspended animation and only a handful remaining awake to operate the spacecraft.

		If you’re a light sleeper some ear plugs would be handy, cos if you’re on deck two you can sometimes hear the sound of the waves.
		The partying on ship sometimes continued until sunrise with people setting off to bed just before the ship set sail, which is between 6am and 9am most days.

		One way of dealing with this may be to start the ship with only a small seed population confined to one small area of the space ark's artificial habitat, which will then grow and "settle" the rest of the ship's living space in the ensuing the decades or centuries.
		Sleeper ships have been seen or mentioned in many science fiction stories, including the original Star Trek episode "Space Seed," the original Planet of the Apes movie, the early '90s TV series Earth 2, and in "Known Space" stories by Larry Niven.
		A terraforming seed ship, therefore, would have to be built as tough and as long-enduring as the most rugged generation ship, as it might spend a very, very long time running on automatic, given the combination of a decades-long journey and the centuries or more needed to terraform a planet or planet-sized mass.

		If the sleeper ship is intact, I thought it may have an artifact/philosopher stone/shield that emitted a constant halo of sunlight or its equivalent to keep the darkness at bay.

	Suspend Animation
		Sleeper Ship is a term used to describe relatively slow interstellar spacecraft that used suspend animations to allow passengers and crew to hibernate during the flight.
		Sleeper ships fell in disuse by the year 2018 because of advances in sublight propulsion.

	Journal of Applied Treknology - DY Starship Family
		It wasn't until 2267 that it was discovered that one of fleeing ships escaped, the S.S. Botany Bay was recovered and later towed to Starbase 12 where it remained until a specially modified transport container could be made in order to transport it safely back to Sol Sector for archeological study.
		According to JMC's records the ships were purchased from an Orion shipyard in 2190, which claimed that the five ships were discovered in the hold of a derelict starship of unknown origin, found drifting in the Beta Irandi Nebula.
		Exactly how these ships ended up so far from earth and the identity of the race that apparently took them remains a mystery since the Orion shipyard that claimed salvage on the derelict went into liquidation in 2215 and the Orion government can find no trace of their business records.

	PhotonSwarm Futurology Article - Ark ships
		Ark ships, also known as generation ships or world ships, are large space craft designed to carry a significant crew of humans on extremely long journeys across space, typically between different solar systems.
		Humans probably have the technology to build a generation ship now, but there are significant challenges outside of those encountered in the construction and engineering of such a craft, such as the psychological impact of living out one's life on a space ship and never seeing Earth again.
		The study concluded that a "1000-year ark" or world ship, in which a kilometer-dimension ship with a closed ecosystem carries its population for many generations between neighboring stars, was in fact the only possibility for a manned interstellar mission.

	DY-100/500 Main
		The SS Botany Bay was a prototype DY-100 sleeper ship that was built by a top-secret research team headed by Dr. Jeffrey Carlson during the early 1990's.
		Khan christened the ship Botany Bay, naming it after Australia's first European settlement, a British penal colony who's exiled inhabitants would be the first to begin the conquest of the continent.
		Although the DY-100 prototype herself was lost to her constructors, more of this class of ship would be built and used to explore the Sol System, despite the majority of Earth's population having been kept in the dark about their discoveries for many decades.

	Fate of the Sleeper Ships
		The colony ship is unpowered and the crew are dead (either decayed to dust over the centuries, or dessicated like mummies in their sus-an sarcophogi).
		The scores, perhaps hundreds, of deaths which occurred on the sleeper ship have resulted in the vessel being haunted by the spirits of lost and angry dead.
		A variation on the theme of the sleeper ship is to think in terms of generation ships (where the crew and at least some of the passengers remain conscious during the voyage) as opposed to sleeper ships (where the crew and cargo are cyrogenically frozen).

	Interstellar ark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such a ship would have to be large, and the only adequate technology likely to be available (even assuming the most favorable economic and political factors) soon enough to make plans is the Orion concept of propulsion by nuclear impulses.
		A sleeper type crewed starship would probably be propelled by a Daedalus type fusion microexplosion nuclear pulse propulsion system, that may allow it to obtain an interstellar cruising velocity of up to 10% of the velocity of light.
		Developing the medical technology that is required to achieve a "sleeper" type starship may theoretically be an achievable goal for late in the 21st century provided that the necessary monetary funding is provided and the necessary laboratory experiments are conducted in the future.

		The ship is so crowded that they couldn't expand into any other rooms, or expand the separate cargo room inward, so they decided to put this cargo blister on the bottom of the ship.
		The overall shape of the ship with a forward penetrating lobe (the primary hull), separate off-center secondary hull, and further rear off-center outboard nacelles greatly decreased subspace drag.

		Relying more on visual/conceptual/slapstick gags than his trademark verbal wit, Sleeper is probably the funniest of what would become known as Allen's "early, funny films" and a milestone in his development as a director.
		`Sleeper' is the only Woody Allen work where in addition to acting, writing, and directing, he also contributes to the music by playing clarinet in the band performing on the sound track.
		In "Sleeper" Allen plays Miles Monroe, a man who went into a hospital in 1973 to fix a peptic ulcer, but was cryogenially frozen and is illegally thawed out 200 years later.
