My head cannon is that the Axiom and all the other cruise ships, have an attached fleet of automated support ships. These scout out save routs for their attached liner, harvest and refine resources from space and maybe even serve as protection from potential hostile aliens (We don't see them in the movie, doesn't mean they aren't out there). This potentially means that when Humanity goes back to Earth and starts their new civilisation, they still have vast fleets of automated explorers, miners and protectors, funnelling the galaxy's riches back to Earth and guarding it against anyone who would try to stop them.

You have to admit that the Axiom and the others of her class are incredibly beautiful and sophisticated vessels, and show how incredibly technologically advanced humanity was at the time when they had to abandon Earth. The fact that the ship continued to work perfectly for over seven hundred years, providing every comfort for the people aboard it during that time - pointing to some incredible technology behind the scenes - is something that is very rare in science fiction.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

It's not terribly difficult to do. The question, is in being able to design robots that can appropriately and consistently do a particular complex task. After that, it's just a matter of making sure every possible task is covered, and then arranging it all in a "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock" configuration to create a reasonable amount of redundancy in the system. When a machine breaks down, others fix it, when the fixers break down, others fix them, and so on. Set it up right, and so long as you've got resources, it'll pretty much never fail.

[@Bossmodegoat]

@@DoremiFasolatido1979 Yeah just create a completely automated self repairing system with an infinite energy source that never fails. Very simple

@@Bossmodegoat well the energy source woudnt have been hard in this case. Solar would have been the way to go. Every window being a panel and make everything as efficient as possible. Entirely doable if you have infinite resources and no budget to do it. The biggest problem would have been the raw materials needed to keep on fixing the robots since it looked like they were dumping some broken robots. But we also dont see all of their machine shops and if they had some kind of mining robot harvesting asteroids which would defeat this entire issue. Largely this whole thing is something we could arguably build with todays technology except for the AI part.

This starship makes the UNSC Infinity looked completely dwarfed, and any inferior starship that stood next to it....were referred to as the *"Interstellar Overcast."* It's no warship at all, but from its immense size and its sophisticated self-sustaining capabilities, the BnL Axiom-class...ascends above all in the history of Interstellar starship designs.

[@Keemperor40K]

From a purely technological point of view, the Axiom effectively overshadows any UNSC and Covenant ship. Nearly infinite power generation capability, self-regenerating supply systems, advanced anti-gravity transportation systems, plentiful energy shielding use, hype capable communication systems and a robotic workforce that could maintain the ship basically indefinitely so long as it had resources to work with. It is in the EVE model, that we get how truly devastatingly powerful the BnL corporation could have been had it gone to war. High speed, small autonomous death robot with advanced plasma weapons ,capable of destroying tanks and above and these where considered "defensive" in nature. If BnL had wanted it could have developed a fleet of ships that would devastate the Covenant and the UNSC and maybe even rival the Forerunners.

[@aspopulvera9130]

And one thing that irked me is that it cannot recycle electronics and other similar things from what i saw on that one scene where they would just jettison it

[@Keemperor40K]

@@aspopulvera9130 while there is no definitive answer and seeing how they where effectively doing in space what they had done to Earth, there is only 1 answer and is supported by the movie. Basically they have a dedicated manufacturing unit in the ship that can produce basically everything they need, so long as they have the resources. Meaning that space mining was a thing. But to make this mroe believable, we also know that while BnL builds things to be disposable and replaceable, it also builds to last. Most likely outside of the Wall-E incident not many robots or anything major was destroyed and the build rate was enough to make up for the loss rate.

One popular belief is that before directive A1-13 was given, at least one other ship decided to abandon the voyage and attempt to land on a habitable planet it found, possibly an attempt at colonization by their Auto pilot; It's believed that that ship crash landed and ended up becoming the mountain chain often viewed in the distance in another Pixar film Onwards. The main part of the theory is about how the shape of the mountain is heavily emphasized in the film to the point of being a part of the plot, and people discovered that the mountain's shape looks exactly like the outline of an Axion ship if it were tilted in a crash.

@@roaringbeardragon4531 Probably not, the ship can jump the 49 AUs from the kuiper belt to earth within about a 30 seconds, and 49 AUs is about 6.75 light hours, so the ship can theoretically travel at over 800 times the speed of light. Given the nearest star is 4.3 light years away, the axiom traveling at top speed could get there is exactly 2 days, at the "hyper jump speed" And it can cross the entire galaxy's diameter in about 110 years. And it would take 3000 years to get to the nearest galaxy (not possible from the films 700 year timespan, but given the ship lasted that long with no problems, im sure it could hold out for a couple thousand more years) Edit: the 30 seconds is only the on screen time, it may be longer, only cut for our viewing pleasure, if it was, it would make my travel time numbers take longer, but even if it took less than 3 hours (probably only still a few minutes), it would still be twice as fast as the speed of light, making the trip to alpha centuri in less than 2 years, still nothing compared to real tech.

Nah -it wasn't a prison; it was an utopia in every measurable sense. It only looks like a "prison" if you fail/refuse to see/accept that we all are already confined by various social/policial rules, economics, etc. There is no such thing as 'absolute freedom'. Axiom's 'rules' were just different to what is currently considered 'normal' and in exchange you got a post scarcity society that was apparently free of crime, war/violence, despair, want, discrimination and hate....seems like a pretty good deal.

[@mill2712]

Though at the same time, they lived a live where there wasn't much incentive to do anything or be better. You lived and had all your needs met but they weren't truly living. To be fair to them, the moment they decided to actually do something with their lives and returned to earth, they fixed the planet and basically made it a garden world over a very short period of time.

[@LENZ5369]

@@mill2712 "weren't truly living" "be better" That's what I was trying to explain -that is entirely subjective and entirely based on cultural/social norms. For example; until recently if you didn't have children or get married; you were considered to have an 'incomplete' life. I'm assuming you don't have to walk to a river and roll the dice on illness; everytime you want a glass of water -do you feel you are missing out? Or do you feel you are missing out when you just go to the doctor/pharmacist to treat a life threatening illness? They were content/satisfied with their lives -that is the only viable definition of a 'happy life' I know. In the end; they acted more like a toddler -they were happy with their Batman figurine Christmas present but now suddenly hate it and want a Superman instead because that's what their friends at school got.

[@MasterOfTruck]

we get a brief glimpse of ~several hundred years after the axiom landed that shows earth gets cleaned up and recolonized. the other ships are more likely still on their routes. the only reason why the axiom was able to return was because of wall e. wall e disrupted things enough to create a domino effect being the 1 aspect auto had no control over.

It's amazing to think how she was able to remain pristine and fully functional for seven centuries with the capacity to continue in identical fashion for many centuries more. BNL really built her to last.

[@theagency2358]

The fact that humanity was able to develop these ships really makes you question why they didn't expand and colonize to other planets. If the Axiom was capable of returning to Earth in a few minutes, as seen in the movie, humanity could've long colonized other planets and solar systems. The Axiom was able to relocate itself from the Horsehead Nebula, which is at a distance of 1,500 light years from Earth, in a reasonable amount of time. Taking this into consideration, it makes you really think where humanity could've been if BNL recognized the true magnitude of what they created with these ships.

"A film like Wall-E exemplifies what Robert Pfaller has called ‘interpassivity’: the film performs our anti-capitalism for us, allowing us to continue to consume with impunity.

I wish there was more lore on the other BNL star liners. We know about the Axiom, but what happened to the dozens of other star liners? Maybe some were lost in space. Maybe some went on to colonize other planets. Maybe some are still continuing their leisurely existence. Did any return to Earth after the events of WALL-E?

given BnL's complete disregard for recycling, it's a miracle that ship sustained life for 700 years.

We have to assume these guys were heading towards a very sudden, very catastrophic failure.

I'd completely forgotten about that part. Without recycling they must have some way of replenishing mass or else the ship would simply run out of material. Only idea I can come up with is they send robots out to collect materials from asteroid or nebula.

[@ViciousVinnyD]

Pretty much any long-term cruiser will need a self-sustaining system of some kind. The earth itself (was) already a self-sustaining system, with the only external input being energy from the sun. Ultimately air, food and water is perpetually recyclable matter through chemical and agricultural systems. The one thing that isn't infinite though is the energy required to power those systems, which likely comes from a concentrated source like nuclear fuel or antimatter. Such concentrated forms of energy can sustain a ship for many years, but eventually it will need to refill somehow.

[@mill2712]

​@@ViciousVinnyD If you managed nuclear fusion then that could be your answer on how they kept the power on. And hydrogen makes a great fusion fuel. And that's the most plentiful element in space. You can easily get that from water.

The Yamato Type of Warships, Transport, and Cargo ships 𝕱𝕴𝕮𝕿𝕴𝕺𝕹𝕬𝕷 The Yamato is a legendary warship built by the Empire of Japan, Yamato means "Harmony" in Japanese, the IJN Yamato became the largest warship ever built and sunk as it was destroyed of the coast of one of the islands that was one of the Okinawa Archipelago in 1945,the same year WW2 ended, it's gigantic size inspired the Imperial Guamanian Empire to built the IGSN/IGN Yamato class of ships, one of which, the IGN Yamato, became the most famous of it all Warships (Battleships) We'll talk about the battleships of this class, the IGN Yamato itself is the most powerful Yamato Class warship, one of the largest, it has powerful shields, have 4 powerful Gualonna 6 Sublight Engines, with 700 Turbolasers, 80K Machine Gun Turrets, 2M Flak Turrets, and of course, the most powerful weapon on board it, 100 SRMG-77 Super Heavy Ion Cannons, it's not the only battleship of the IGN Yamato class of ships, the other 3 Yamato class Battleships are it's sister ships, the IGN Golunta is the largest ship in the entire universe, it is over 23 miles long, 21 miles wide, and 12 miles tail, it's no wonder why it got that title, it has double the weapons the IGN Yamato has, 1400 TurboLasers, 160K Machine Guns, 4M flak turrets, and 200 SRMG-77 Super Heavy Ion Cannons, it has several Sublight Engines that have no Name, with a powerful Shield that cover the entire ship which doesn't need power so it can block any attack toward the Golunta, of course, it is very large so it can carry 800M crew at Peace and 2.2B during war, and IGN 1123 is destroyed during the battle of Gwomnotta X (2202-2205) when a Gamilon Warship hit it with a torpedo, so we don't know much of ship 1123 Warships (Dreadnoughts) 4 Sister ships of the IGN Yamato class are Dreadnoughts, so I will discuss them now, the IGN Gwomnotta is a IGN Yamato class Dreadnought that is 12.5 miles long, 10 miles wide, and 5 miles tall, it has 5 3 gun turrets, 2 in the front, 3 in the back which made it a Large FREEDOM SEDAN, 50 3 inch guns go along the starboard and port sides, along with Photon Torpedoes, the IGN Hercheal is a IGN Yamato class dreadnought the same size as the IGN Gwomnotta, but with 6 3 gun turrets, 50 3 inch guns, and 50 5 inch guns, ships 2443 and 5552 were also destroyed during the battle of Gwomnotta X We can't extend this comment so we are gonna skip to how this class was a thing How it became a thing? It began in 2001 when the IGN Yamato was built, the IGE was impressed, so much so that the IGN Yamato class of ships were established, before that, it was called Gwomnotta Class before its called IGN Yamato class of ships, they began construction of the IGN Golunta which is so large so that it can't be completely built until way later, but in order to complete this, we need to get more info so see you later
