Black Boa

The Black Boa is one of the vehicles in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The spaceship is piloted by Aki Ross to travel around the Phantom-infested Earth.

Role
The Black Boa was the first to appear in the movie, transporting Aki Ross to Old New York City where she was to collect the 6th Spirit. She was attacked by the Phantoms, but the Deep Eyes managed to rescue her in time. Consequently, she and the Black Boa was taken into custody of the United States Military Force (USMF), where the Black Boa stayed until she was needed again at the final parts of the movie.

In their mission to find the final spirit, Aki and Gray Edwards along with team members Neil Fleming, Jane Proudfoot and Ryan Whittaker attempt to detach the ship. The Black Boa was launched but at the cost of Neil, Jane and Ryan's life. The Black Boa traveled to the Middle East where Aki finished the last attempts to solve the Phantom problem once and for all.

Official Stats
Built as a large-scale transportation shuttle, the MXOV-801 was originally made for use in the construction of a space station for human habitation. However, due to the intense war between the USMF and the Phantoms, the construction project was suspended, and only one shuttle was finished. The construction of the Zeus Cannon and the subsequent smaller MXOV-600 series shuttles used also made the project obsolete.

When the MXOV-500 series environmental research crafts were retired from military used, the USMF obtained the MXOV-801, outfit it with a scan radar system and changed its role as a reconnaissance craft, codenamed the Black Boa. The Black Boa is able to travel into and from space without the use of support engines or fuel tanks.
