I'll narrow things down a bit: it's from a TV show.

It is indeed the Scorpio, kudos to you – but that's its name, not class and model!

OK, I try a difficult one.

There is a more or less hardcore SciFi series which has as one of its main proponents an uplifted pig which basically saves the day many times even though it was a slave and a villain before.

What is the name of the pig and the series it appears in? :mrgreen:
