Could we please not discuss space stations and national conceit on-list? The
ISS ain't Spelljammer.
Well, then.
Reading through The Needle, I came upon one or two interesting things. The

The lunar variety of this species was created by some mad wizard. Moon rocs
need no air and fly magically, using their wings only for stability. They
are immune to all gases and feed on and are cured by light and heat,
absorbed through the wings. Moon rocs are otherwise very similar to their
terrestrial cousins.

Aside from, that, the tree that grew any food desired and the ever-full pool
of pure water seemed to be useful commodities to have on ship...

Not that I really had to post this, I just don't want to hear about
spacestation components anymore, yaknow? :P

difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward
dreamings, and there is no cause to value the one above the other."
