'''''Serenity''''' is the [[Firefly Class|''Firefly''-class]] ship, named after the [[Serenity Valley]], captained by [[Malcolm Reynolds]].

==History==
''Serenity'' began her life in [[August]] [[2459]], when her keel was laid. She was one of the earlier Series 3 Fireflies to be constructed, eventually becoming one of a fleet of approximately 28,000. Her history for the next fifty years is largely unknown, except for the fact that she eventually came to rest in a [[Wikipedia: aircraft boneyard|boneyard]] on [[Hera]]. At the time, she was no longer flight-worthy.

She was acquired by Malcolm Reynolds in [[Timeline|2512]], shortly after the end of the [[Unification War]]. Mal wanted a ship because it would provide freedom. Even though the [[Union of Allied Planets|Alliance]] was ever-growing, a ship would enable them to keep outside it. Mal already had ''Serenity'''s name picked out when he bought her, after the decisive [[Battle of Serenity Valley|battle]] at [[Serenity Valley]], where the war was essentially lost by the [[Independents]], reflecting how those who were there could never leave ''Serenity ''but would simply have to learn to live there.

[[Zoë Alleyne Washburne|Zoë Alleyne]], first mate of the vessel, was unimpressed by Mal's purchase of the ship; at the time she was definitely a fixer-upper and needed much work before she would even take off. Despite some problems with her first mechanic, [[Bester]], Mal eventually managed to get the ship off the ground with [[Kaywinnit Lee Frye|Kaylee]]'s help. Hiring out one of ''Serenity's'' two shuttles as a means of [[Inara Serra|extra income]], the crew went on to expand from there, including Kaylee as the new mechanic as well as some hired muscle in [[Jayne Cobb|Jayne]].

In 2517, [[Simon Tam]], [[River Tam]], and Shepherd [[Derrial Book]] come aboard ''Serenity'' as passengers on their way to [[Boros]]. Eventually, they integrate into the crew, Simon serving as a much-needed medic on the transport.

In 2518, after fencing the [[Lassiter]] laser pistol for a considerable sum, Captain Reynolds refitted ''Serenity'''s cargo bay, including new bracing, cargo ramp, bomb-bay doors, and fire-suppression system. A few months later, she suffered the worst accident in her life when she crash-landed on a comm relay moon outside the [[Blue Sun system]], after suffering multiple wounds in a firefight between Alliance military forces and [[Reavers]]. There were several hull ruptures, the electrical system was damaged from an EMP blast, and one booster was even severed from the ship. She was repaired and eventually returned to service thanks to assistance provided on the [[Operative]]'s orders.

==Background==
One of the most distinctive features about ''Serenity'' is her lack of weapons; when push comes to shove, all the ship has to get her out of trouble is the ingenuity of her crew.

==Crew==
*[[Bester]]: ex-mechanic
*[[Derrial Book]]: shepard
*[[Hoban Washburne]]: pilot
*[[Inara Serra]]: [[Companion's Guild]]
*[[Jayne Cobb]]: mercenary
*[[Kaywinnet Lee Frye]]: mechanic
*[[Malcolm Reynolds]]: captain
*[[River Tam]]: passenger
*[[Simon Tam]]: medic
*[[Zoë Alleyne Washburne]]: first officer

==Components==
The ''Serenity'' sets contain many components from modern day airline aircraft:
* Pilots' chairs on the bridge and in shuttles, with Boeing's signature sheepskin covering.
* Boeing-style throttle quadrants in the engine rooms and shuttles.
* Boeing-style control yokes.
* What appear to be pilots' oxygen masks are dotted around the ship - most rooms have at least one.
* Airliner galley-style cubbyholes and trolleys at the back of the galley.
* On the exterior, each engine of ''Serenity'' is fitted with navigation indicator lights (green on the starboard side, red on the port side).
