*The interior of ''Pyxis'' is shown in "[[The Plan]]" and in two deleted scenes from the [[Daybreak, Part I|two-part]] [[Daybreak, Part II|series finale]]. The inside of this ship has orange walls with seats identical to those inside ''[[Colonial One]]'', with one set of top-facing windows and one set facing the side, also similar to ''Colonial One''. This window arrangement is a design flaw, as the windows do not match the exterior design of the ship, which features only one set of windows. | |||
