A fleet composed of spacecraft from various races. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)

These ranged from rockets to launch artificial satellites into planetary orbit (TV: Delta and the Bannermen, PROSE: Alien Bodies) to interstellar spacecraft, also known as starships, capable of reaching the edge of the universe. (COMIC: Voyage to the Edge of the Universe)

They could be made from any number of materials, such as plastic, ceramic or metal. (TV: The Hand of Fear)

Jane's Spacecraft of the Universe was a reference book mentioned by the Fourth Doctor. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)

Jane's Spaceships was a reference book in the TARDIS library. Sam Jones read it whilst travelling with the Eighth Doctor. (PROSE: War of the Daleks)

Shortly following the London UFO crash in 2006, Rachel posted on the website Doctor Who? to ask if any of the aliens were single as she broke up with her boyfriend Robbie last week and she felt it would be a good opportunity to get back at him, imagining his face if he saw her fly off with an alien. She suggested that going to the local cinema in a spaceship would be a bit more impressive than being driven around in Robbie's dad's Mazda. (PROSE: Alien landing confirmed)

George Thompson liked spaceships. He wrote about this in his special book. (PROSE: My Special Book)

On Planet Bedtime Stories, the Fourteenth Doctor asked an audience where they would go if they had a spaceship. (TV: Doctor Who: The Bedtime Story [+]Oliver Jeffers, adapted from The Way Back Home, CBeebies Bedtime Stories (CBeebies, 2023). Timestamp 00:00:45.)
