The Irverfield

The Irverfield was a Sartak Explorer Mark VI owned by Irving Braxiatel.

Appearance
Irving spent a lot of money on the Irverfield and made it look like a space-faring yacht. It was sleek, elegant, comfortable, beautifully furnished and had its name stencilled on its side in black. (PROSE: Filthy Lucre)

History
The Explorer Mark VI was built by the Sartaks and purchased by Irving Braxiatel from Lord Galot, who had it brought from Zeta Prime to the Crater Base. (AUDIO: Everybody Loves Irving)

Bernice Summerfield, Ruth and Jack used the shuttle to fly to Star Seasons and, subsequently, Bubastis, where Grey Line sabotaged it by ripping open its nose. It was later repaired by a group of students led by Dave. (PROSE: The Slender-Fingered Cats of Bubastis)

Irving decided to name the ship after himself, but Benny insisted that they call it the Summerfield, supposedly in honour of her father. Having already started painting his own name onto it, he then named it the Irverfield, which Benny hated but Jack found amusing. Benny, Ruth and Jack took the shuttle to a hyperdimensional waste ship and then to Nemeqit, where Jack was left to guard it but ended up wandering off and getting lost. (AUDIO: A Handful of Dust)

Benny, Jack and Peter Summerfield flew in the Irverfield to investigate a sector of space where spaceships had been disappearing for several months. They received a warning from Mortis Dock and flew there, eventually returning to the Irverfield to go back to Legion. (AUDIO: HMS Surprise)
