The first Shuttle built at the Ley shipyard, and the first Artemis Foundation Shuttle other than the Three Graces not assigned to a particular station.

Known Quirks

  • Good Morning Starshine II: The Class Quirk for this model ship. Similar to the class quirk displayed by the Three Graces, the OV-200 Orbiters need music played at the beginning of each workday in order to function at peak efficiency. Unlike the Graces, the same song can be reused (no more than three times in a row per any given month), but each Orbiter needs a distinct genre of music played for the best possible effect. As one would expect, Calypso likes calypso music.
  • Guest Speaker: The ship's AI, Jacques, is patterned after undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau. Like M. Cousteau, Jacques is a popularizer of science and often serves as a visiting lecturer at various schools, and holds the occasional class within his hull.
