== Known Vehicle Quirks ==
* ''Uniform:'' Controls won’t work unless the currently-serving captain is wearing a shirt or jacket with big collar and puffy sleeves.
* ''GPS:'' Engines won’t start unless a globe, one of those big spinny ones, is in the cockpit.

== Trivia ==
* ''Global Threat:'' The brainchild of [[Dr. William "Will" Kao|Dr. Will Kao]], [[the Island]]’s Ops Chief/Medic. He insists the ship has no connection to his own first name. The ''Shakespeare'' is the Island’s main protection against troublemakers - a flying bouncer. The ''Shakespeare'' is always referred to, Soviet-style, as he.
* ''William Who?'' Ship’s AI is modeled not after William Shakespeare, but [[Wikipedia:William Topaz McGonagall|William Topaz McGonagall]] - a 19th century poet renowned as the worst poet in English literature. But McGonagall was a Shakespeare fanboy, so... (“In his beautiful tragedy of Othello, one passage is very fine,/Just for instance where Cassio looses his lieutenancy/... By drinking too much wine;”)
* ''He’s Dead, Jim:'' There’s a certain amount of irony in the station’s medic building a gunship, no matter how defensively configured. Of course, Dr. Kao’s doctorate isn’t in medicine... and he hasn’t sworn any kind of oath...
* ''The Fuzz:'' As a police vessel, of sorts, the ''Shakespeare'' is nominally a combat ship. His equipment is mostly defensive, however, and he’s meant to disable or seize ships, not destroy them. That said, he is most definitely armed.
* ''Q Branch:'' Precisely what weapons the ''Shakespeare'' has isn’t clear. In 2009, he fought off a would-be raider attack with railguns, presumably powered by a ’wavium energy source. Island staff later referred to these guns as the “154 Sonnets” (and, unusually for Island folks, insisted the designs were not for sale). Following recent rumors from [[SOS-Con]], the ''Shakespeare'' is undergoing a full refit. Dr. Kao has reportedly installed some sort of ultimate weapon, codenamed the “Forbidden Art Of Plays”...
