Kukulkan's starship was an otherwise unnamed starship owned by Kukulkan for thousands of years.
Service history and disposition[]
The vessel was equipped with a cloaking device able to adjust its hull appearance, giving it serpentine features. The ship had extra fusion reactors, impulse engines, and a multitude of advanced transporter pads. Its double-strength tractor beam was capable of draining power or depleting a target's shields.
The starship visited Earth in the 15th century. Since that time, Kukulkan collected numerous artifacts and living specimens aboard his ship. (Adventures RPG module: The Animated Series Supplemental Guide)

The vessel was at least twice the size of a Constitution-class ship with a hull made of a light, crystalized ceramic. Its interior contained at least one large room similar to a holodeck that was able to reproduce a large Mayan jungle city with obelisks at each corner and a pyramid at its center. It also featured a vast zoo with dozens of animals, such as a Capellan power cat, kept peaceful in mental realities maintained by Kukulkan. It also contained xenariums full of unusual plants.
In the year 2270, a probe scanned Earth, then made a directed transmission before self destructing. Starfleet sent the starship USS Enterprise to locate the recipient, and in the general vicinity of Starbase 21, Kukulkan's starship secured the Enterprise in a force field bubble.
Kukulkan selected four members of the crew to be beamed aboard and tested by him. Afterward, the landing party was set free and his vessel departed. (TAS episode & Log Six novelization: How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth)
