''S.S. Heart of Gold'' is the first prototype ship to successfully utilise the new revolutionary [[Infinite Improbability Drive]]. It is 150 metres long and has been represented in various shapes, but all of them being perfectly white and beautiful. In the original radio series "[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Primary and Secondary Phases|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]", no shape was specified. In the novel adapted from the first four episodes of the radio series, it was described as a sleek white running shoe. The TV series adaptation used this description as a starting place. Finally, in the most recent depiction in the [[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 - this shape was derived from a teacup, based on 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 [[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|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. |
