Space Patrol

POKERS: The old Pan Galactic Union saw most of the travel of people and goods move by means of totally automated spacecraft called POKERS, an acronym whose origin now completely lost. It was discovered during the war against Omni-Mind that the automated controls of the POKERS were in a single pod on the outside of the craft. These pods were very easy to target and destroy, after which the craft could be re-fitted for control by living beings. There are still uncounted millions of these vessels out there, refitted by countless beings for countless purposes. They are completely ugly, looking like a flying brick’s mother-in-law.
