The Whaling Boat was a spacecraft used by Graham Hoyly in his quest for vengeance against the galactic whales that migrated near his native planet, Zola. To better fight the intelligent white whale, Graham underwent the micloning process and enlarged himself to Zentradi size. He then crafted a custom battle suit equipped with a large harpoon launcher to accommodate the right arm he lost to the whales. The Whaling Boat was also equipped with a harpoon launcher, and it featured an ejectable rocket booster that allowed it to directly launch into orbit from the Zolan surface.
