The Sōja was a unique starship created by Washu Hakubi and owned by Zev Raregroove that employed extremely advanced dimensional physics in its design. While its full capabilities are unknown, it was equipped with numerous strange and powerful devices, and could enter and exit subspace fast enough to escape Blackout's destruction of several planets and stars.

Description

Among the Sōja's stranger mechanisms was a 'front door' -- An actual wooden door complete with pewter knob that appeared to allow outsiders in. What seemed to be a running gag was people teleporting inside of the Sōja to greet or face off against Zev Raregroove, only for him to complain; "We have a front door, you know." Also, the Sōja was able to burrow into and out of subspace. It was able to do this so quickly that Blackout, even with his hyperdimensional capabilities, could not track its entrance to subspace up to exiting nearby him. The Sōja's thrusters were custom models named "Requiem Experience".

A prominent feature of Sōja was Zev's organ, a massive conglomeration of pipes encircling the main hall, all coming together at the four rows of keys. Finally, it seemed that Sōja could host Zev's astral projection while he was gone. Washu Hakubi revealed that the ship was actually her own creation.

Zev stated that, regarding the Sōja's interior dimension, anyone could teleport in, but only beings of his power level or above could teleport out/within it (i.e., Blackout, Malygos, Ryoko, Washu); this is why the 'front door' was made. Also, Misaki Raregroove has made use of Sōja's high-tech kitchens and made light work of the ship's ten-setting training room, beating all levels in record time.

Weaponry

Warping Cannons: Zev has shown that the Sōja had at least twenty cannons that could be fired through portals; it has only been shown inside the ship, but it can be assumed that they could also fire outside of the ship.

Trivia

• About the Sōja's training room, Zev has said that the last two settings are so difficult than even he has never beaten them.
