While trying to return to the Cupid Homeworld, Tracker-764 bought a Void Ship.
Nature
Very small, badly rusted, and furnished with easily-torn “sabilising fins”, it was a fairly outdated model which could only travel to a given dimension if specific dimensional coordinates were input by hand. It also needed to build up speed in normal space to pierce through the dimensional fabric, and even then, would only do so if a specific command was pressed at the right time mid-acceleration.

History
After leaving the old man's dimension with some crystals and a few books of dimensional science, (PROSE: The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane) Tracker-764 traded the last of his crystals for this Void Ship. He eventually flew it to the Interdimensional Tavern, hoping he would find someone who knew the exact coordinates of the Cupid Homeworld. He found such a person in the form of beaten enemy of the Crew, Darius. With Darius concealing his identity as an enemy of the Crew, and Tracker concealing his identity as a Cupid, the two made a deal to go there together in Tracker's Ship.
However, as they were building up speed in the Void, one of the floating eldritch abominations tried to take a bite out of the Ship. They managed to pierce through the dimensional divide at the last minute, but not before the closing jaws of the abomination dealt some damage to the engine and the directional system. As such, instead of the Cupid Homeworld, the Ship materialised in a random dimension which happened to be the Interdimensional Black Market, where it promptly crashed. Using a little Earth money left in Darius's wallet, Darius and Tracker were able to buy a 210K Twin-Carbonoid Dualtech Engine from the ship-parts seller at the Market, as well as the ship-building robot CS-NA, whom they set on the task of repairing the Ship.
Soon after, the two had to make a hurried escape from the Queen of the Black Market's wraiths in the newly-rebuilt Ship, which was soon damaged again as one of the Wraiths tore away one of the stabilising fins. However, this did not overly compromise the Ship's aim, and Tracker was able to fly it back to the Tavern (where he dropped off Darius) and then, finally, to the Cupid Homeworld, where he crashed it into Pessimist-242 as he landed due to Pessimist not bothering to get clear despite ample time to do so.
