"Star of the night, Star of the day, Come to take my tears away. Make my life always bright."

- A child's prayer to the "Sky Ship". Listen file info

The "Ground Shaker", later named the "Sky Ship", is the colloquial name given to the USS Voyager by Kelemane's species on their planet, due to Voyager's presence in their sky since their pre-industrial age.

Since the Starfleet vessel was unable to break orbit and was (accurately) suspected by the planet's inhabitants for seismic activity, the "Sky Ship" became ingrained in their culture, being the inspiration for the Sky Ship Friends toy collection, a child's prayer, and signficant advancements in technology.
