This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From incomplete disambiguation: This is a redirect from an incomplete disambiguation, a page name that is too ambiguous to be the title of an article or other project page. Such titles should redirect to an appropriate disambiguation page (or section of it), or to a more complete disambiguation.

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Wikipedia (use {{R with old history}} instead).

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-''S.S. Heart of Gold'' is the first prototype ship to successfully utilize the revolutionary [[Infinite Improbability Drive]]. It is 150 meters long and has been represented in various shapes, all of them "perfectly white and beautiful"<ref>[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]</ref>. The ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Primary and Secondary Phases|original radio series]]'' did not specify a shape. In the novel adapted from the first four episodes of the radio series, it was described as a sleek white running shoe, which the TV adaptation adopted as a basis for its depictions. Finally, in the recent [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film)|2005 movie]], it is more spherical with a hole and red brakelights on the rear that form the shape of a heart, a shape derived from a teacup in the [[brownian motion]] producer that powers the Infinite Improbability Drive. It also features a mural around the hole which depicts the invention of the Drive. It was built as a secret government project on planet [[Places in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Damogran|Damogran]] from where [[Zaphod Beeblebrox]], the then-President of the Imperial Galactic Government, stole it at the launching ceremony.
-The ship's cybernetics consist of a new generation of [[Sirius Cybernetics Corporation]] robots and computers (including [[Minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Eddie|Eddie]] the shipboard computer and  [[Marvin the Paranoid Android|Marvin]]) with the new [[Sirius Cybernetics Corporation#Genuine People Personalities|Genuine People Personalities]] (GPP) feature.
-In ''[[Life, the Universe and Everything]]'', it is revealed that the core of the Improbability Drive is actually the Golden Bail of Prosperity, one of five items that forms the [[Wikkit Gate]]. The drive is subsequently stolen by the robots of [[Places in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy#Krikkit|Krikkit]], but is later recovered by [[Zaphod Beeblebrox]] and reinstalled.
