In
Matrix's setting, the ship is built in 2069, The ship's operator remains as a guide, sending crews navigational data and
programs with which to hack into the Matrix. Two operators for the
Nebuchadnezzar appear in the
Matrix trilogy:
Tank and
Link. The craft is also equipped with defensive measures in the form of an onboard
EMP, which it uses to fight flying robots known as Sentinels. The interior of the ship is one of the few indications in the series about how the rebels live. It resembles the interior of a submarine and is made entirely of raw steel, with flashing computer screens and cramped, small sleeping quarters. The only food aboard is a nutrient-rich mixture described as "viscous, gag-eliciting goop". The
Nebuchadnezzar is destroyed by a Sentinel's tow bomb near the conclusion of
The Matrix Reloaded. The crew escapes before the ship's destruction thanks to
Neo's newfound ability to identify and assume limited control over Sentinel hardware using his powers as
the chosen one. The crew is found by the hovercraft
Mjolnir soon afterward. == Merchandise ==
