The Outlaw Star is the titular ship of the series. Its official model number is the XGP 15A-II, often shortend to XGP. It is a ship that Hilda stole from some pirates. The ship starts out as green colored, but Gene has it painted red (the same shade as his hair) later on.
The XGP 15A-II a grappler ship, and is frequently refered/gloated by many characters as the most advanced ship in the galaxy. The XGP features many systems not present on other ships (such as the synthetic-cyborg interfaced navigation system) and shares very few similarities with other highly advanced ships, such as the El-Darado. The ships's chief architect was Gwen Kahn, who used information he decoded from the Grave of the Dragon ruins to build the XGP. The ships construction was requisitioned by the Kei Pirates, but the Kei Pirates alone could not build such an advanced ship. The Alliance was contracted in secret to assist in building the XGP soley as a ship that could find and breach the Galactic Leyline.
Hilda's last words to Gene were, "Outlaws never go down easy, no matter what happens to them." Gene named the ship the Outlaw Star in the memory of Hilda.
