The Ship of Lights is the spacecraft used by the Beings of Light.

The Ship of Lights is an immensely large and fast spacecraft of unknown but highly advanced technology, inhabiting a dimension different from standard.

Encounters with the Fleet

In proximity of an unnamed red planet, Viper pilots hear a strange piercing sound as it approaches. The craft has the ability to render people unconscious, as well as make them disappear ^{(TOS: "War of the Gods, Part I", "War of the Gods, Part II", "Experiment in Terra")}.

The "vanished" pilots and spacecraft are transported to a different dimension. When returned to their own dimension the warriors' memories have been blocked regarding their abduction experience, and given "reasonable explanations" for their absence ^{(TOS: "War of the Gods, Part II")}.

Apollo's Encounters

After he is slain by Count Iblis, Apollo is revived aboard the ship and, in concert with Sheba and Starbuck, given the course heading for Earth. Their memories are otherwise blocked, and they vaguely piece together what transpired on the red planet ^{(TOS: "War of the Gods, Part II")}.

Apollo is intercepted while following Commandant Leiter's Eastern Alliance destroyer and brought aboard the ship, where he meets his handler, John, who unblocks some of Apollo's memories of his previous experience aboard and gives Apollo his mission to save Terra ^{(TOS: "Experiment in Terra")}.
