Lying Bastard
(nicknamed Liar) The Puppeteer-built starship which carried the First Ringworld Expedition from Hearth to the Ringworld. It was built on a No. 2 General Products hull, which typically carried only a single pilot. But the Liar had only the control cabin, living space, life-support system and hyperdrive inside the hull, leaving room for four explorers.
Louis Wu named the ship the Lying Bastard because although it was equipped with a variety of weapons, each was something a Puppeteer could point to and claim it had some other purpose.
Needs work but settling down on a final drawing.
Cheers
