ok JD got the first Nostromo from Aliens
Disembodied gets the next 2 with Liberator Blakes 7 and Enterprise from Star Trek
cody has a swing and a miss... sorry..
Commander x has number 4 with Serenity from Firefly .

that leaves G. i must admit this one might not be entirely accurate but as far as i can remember it was a one off ship named this. i figure that as a one off it is not a type of ship..lol

clue what is another name for a flower? the answer relates to this ship.

Not sure about the flower, but the Iain M. Banks novel Excession features a Culture ship called Grey Area.

Ok for lack of originality I will return to the list of 5
I want 5 space stations from different universes. They have to be a main featured station for instance starbase 375 from Star trek would not count but Deep Space 9 would(and now you cant use that one :P )

Downbelow Station, titular location of the novel by C. J. Cherryh.

that's five. I had never heard of those novels before(sector 12 general hospital and downbelow station) so I might pick them up if I can, They look interesting.
I guess I went for an easy one :P
That makes it ffutures turn

Sector 12 hospital station is the setting for James White's Sector General novels, a bit old-style now but a lot of fun.

OK, I appear to be setting the next question...

Let's see...

Let's have five SF stories / films / whatever where the big surprise is that the story is set in a virtual world. The Matrix is an obvious example, give me five others from five different universes - e.g. you can't have two books / films / comics whatever set in the same universe. This needs to be a major part of the story, not just a one-off blip in something that otherwise has nothing to do with virtual worlds - e.g. Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman had one episode partially set in a virtual world, that wouldn't be acceptable.

The 13th Floor
An entire season of Yu-Gi-Oh was set in a virtual world as well(But I don't think Yu-Gi-Oh will count as Sci Fi)
