Trans-Fictional Vessel
A Trans-Fictional Vessel is a "ship" that can travel into fictional realities. The first three such vessels to travel into fictional realms never returned. The first successful round trip was made in 2301 when the the famous T.F.V. Glass Onion and crew returned (physically) intact after a 3 month journey into Lewis Carroll's Wonderland. Several of the crew were "not all there" after the journey, however, and never recovered.
