** In an earlier episode, Kaylee states that the ship talks to her when something is wrong (at the very least, the engine does the she is the most likely to personify Serenity and takes offense whenever someone calls the ship junk, more so then Mal, the Captain). Whether there is a real voice or just Kaylee waxing poetic about the ship. Creator/JossWhedon has basically said Firefly was about 9 characters (those played by actors) who looked to space for very different reasons and the 10th character, who takes them there (Serenity), clearly demonstrating that the ship was meant to be treated as something more alive than a ship.

* ''Anime/LostUniverse'' has [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1142146262764.jpg Canal Volfied,]] {{Meido}}-outfitted hologram with [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair greenish-blue]] RapunzelHair. Though she's well-aware of her nature as the ship's mind and can get very hyper when it comes to supplementing the ship's weaponry (which she refers to as "accessorising"), she's also got a very human-like personality. She has a particular distaste for Millie because Millie is insistent upon being the ship's cook... ignoring that she blows up the kitchen ''every single time''.

* The Android in ''Series/DarkMatter'' isn't literally the avatar of the Raza, but she has a neural link to the ship which allows her to operate its functions and controls remotely.

* The Cylon ships in the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 reboot]] have Hybrids as their central computer hub. Hybrids take the form of women laying in a cloudy tub similar to a resurrection tank. The viewer can't see it, but according to the concept art, their human bodies end at the torso and turn into biomechanical wiring beneath the surface of the liquid. Hybrids are not supposed to be independently sentient and generally their speech is a string of ship operations and apparent gibberish. Some Cylon models and humans believe that the Hybrids spout prophecy. The First Hybrid, however, had the appearance of an old man, and humanoid Cylon [[spoiler:Sam Anders]] is later connected to the ''Galactica'' through a Hybrid tank after being rendered comatose by a bullet to the back of the head, making both of them [[RareMaleExample Rare Male Examples]].

** This is actually usually a thing with Smart {{AI}}s that have interfaced with ships, which aid the crews with status checks and making proper calculations for firing solutions, movement, and preparing Slipspace coordinates. In some cases, they're capable of taking complete control of said ships if they're working a skeleton crew or ''no'' crew. However, human ship AIs have the same [[GenderInvertedTrope 50/50 gender ratio]] as actual humans, when they have a discernable gender identity at all.

* The ''Series/StarTrek'' novel ''Web Of the Romulans'' follows directly from the Original Series episode "Tomorrow Is Yesterday," complete with the flirty personality the ship's computer had been given in that episode. Its eccentricities continue to be a problem over the course of the novel.

** In an episode, an "upgrade" to the ''Enterprise'''s computer causes it to start talking flirtatiously and calling the captain "Dear". Kirk said that the folks the repairs had been outsourced to thought the computer needed a personality, "so they gave it one."

*** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife "The Doctor's Wife"]] confirms that the TARDIS is indeed sentient and female. (Guess who his "wife" is.) The 'soul' of the TARDIS in the body of a human gets to actually walk around, and it is as CrazyAwesome as you'd expect. The Doctor's companions, on the other hand, are less impressed.

Hybrids are not supposed to be sentient and generally their speech is a string of ship operations. [[spoiler:Some models and humans believe that the Rebel Hybrid also spouts prophecy.]]

* ''Manga/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel'' does this with actual naval ships, though the technology in said ships rivals that of most spaceships which would feature this trope. Interestingly, when one of the human characters actually inquires about why all of the ships feature female avatars the mental model he's talking to states that humans have always referred to ships as "female", [[HandWave so logically they would be represented that way]].

* ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'' features personifications of WWII warships who otherwise fit this trope to a T. A somewhat strange case here, as while the girls ARE the ships, they can still equip the weapons and radar that they would be able to use as warships. Enemy ships also qualify, with the exception of the smallest destroyers.

* Your ship's flight computer, Dalan, in ''VideoGame/{{Inca}}'', whom always greets you with, "Welcome on board, El Dorado. I hope...you will enjoy this fliiiight."

* ''VideoGame/TheJourneymanProject 2'' has Arthur, a space''station guy'', created by Dr. Kenneth Farnstien while on board his space station, Amarax. His integration is such that he can feel the craft "like a body", although the station itself has its own feminine ComputerVoice, which Arthur at one point calls "Mom". When you arrive, Farnstien is dead and the station's been hit by a meteor shower [[spoiler: and another time traveler who got there an hour earlier had pissed him off but good]]. Then, after reading your Biochip files, discovering that he will die in the future, Arthur copies himself to a blank chip you're carrying and becomes your RobotBuddy for the rest of the game.

---->'''Starbuck:''' Yeah, but you're not.
---->'''CORA:''' I'm beginning to regret that.

* Franchise/RatchetAndClank has the Lombax ship Aphelion.

* The space train, Galaxy Express 999 gets upgraded with one in the second series.

* [=SAL9000=] in 2010 ([[TheCameo played]] by [[Series/MurphyBrown Candice Bergen]]) is almost neuter, but female (and sounds very like Eldon Tyrell's computer in Blade Runner).

* Inverted in Series/BabylonFive: Legend of the Rangers, in which the weapons officer enters a holographic chamber in which she sees everything from the ship's own point of view, and fires weapons by throwing punches.

* In ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold'' fanfic ''Fanfic/VoiceOfTheCondor'', after the Golden Condor gets shot down by [[BigBad Ambrosius']] men, Tao turns on a slew of new functions while fixing the Condor, one of which is a Helper program that Esteban comes to call "Cibola". He acts to protect the Condor's crew from threats, and even helps Esteban improve at flying it. Late in the story, [[spoiler: with the help of Muran'Kel, Esteban's [[BrainUploading uploaded mother]], ]] Cibola gains his own holographic avatar, resembling an Inca warrior wearing orichalcum armor and a high-tech flight helmet.

* Post-BrainUploading, Samus' former CO Adam in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'' is another spaceship guy, although it takes a little while for her to [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay realise]] that it's actually him. Made a little awkward by the later revelation in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' that he was something of a father figure to her when he was alive; now she has a ship for a dad.
** While we're on the subject of ''[=OtherM=]'', we have [[spoiler: MB, the Mother Brain {{Expy}}.]] She built an android body for herself, and she looks exactly like a normal human. [[spoiler: She manages to fool both Samus and the player into thinking that she's Madeline Bergman, the head scientist.]]

* Titania from ''VideoGame/StarshipTitanic'', who's sorry about the parrot, really she is. Her creator, Leovinus, is seriously in love with her.
