Aphelion



The Aphelion was the ship used by Ratchet from the time of Tachyon's attack on Metropolis onwards. It was found by Ratchet on Fastoon in a seriously damaged condition. Ratchet found all of the pieces needed for the ship's repair scattered in six different locations on the planet. The ship could perform space travel as well as space combat, using a rapid fire cannon and a missile system which could be charged. The ship also had a turret which Clank used to take out enemies that were attacking from behind. Ratchet occasionally performed HALO jumps from the Aphelion while in the atmosphere of a planet.

The Aphelion had a female "voice" that could provide some navigational and space combat help. It was also the first ship Ratchet used that could talk by itself, unsuprising hence it's Lombax origin. The ship was also equipped with a HD-800 screen, which could show the Galactic Map and other things, such as Holo-Vites.

There were two words written in Lombax on the Aphelion. One read as "Aphelion" and the second one as "angel".

Space combat
The Aphelion fought in many battles under Ratchet's control, they were all against space pirates.
