A custom spacecraft built by Dr. Brief using salvaged Saiyan pod technology, equipped with living quarters and a gravity training system that reaches up to 100x Earth's gravity.
The Capsule Corporation Spaceship is a series of custom-built spacecraft engineered by Dr. Brief, incorporating technology reverse-engineered from the Attack Ball that brought Goku to Earth as an infant. While the original Saiyan pod was a cramped single-occupant vessel, Dr. Brief expanded the design into a spacious craft with multiple rooms and advanced training equipment.
The first model was constructed from salvaged components of Goku's original Attack Ball. Despite its relatively modest exterior, the interior housed a bedroom, bathroom, fully stocked kitchen, and a training room equipped with an artificial gravity machine capable of reaching 100 times Earth's gravity. Goku used this ship to travel to Planet Namek over six days, progressively training at 20x, 50x, and finally 100x gravity during the journey. The ship was destroyed in Namek's explosion.
The second model was hastily built from scratch at Chi-Chi's insistence. She, Master Roshi, Yajirobe, Puar, and Oolong boarded it to follow Goku to Namek, but the ship shut down completely upon liftoff and nearly exploded. It never successfully made the journey.
The third iteration was used by Vegeta to search for Goku in space after the Frieza Saga. Upon returning to Earth, Vegeta used its upgraded Gravity Machine (modified to reach 500x gravity in the anime, 300x in the manga) to train for the arrival of the Androids. He accidentally destroyed it during an overly intense training session and was hospitalized as a result. A replacement was later constructed, which Vegeta continued to use for training and which Piccolo used to reach New Planet Vegeta.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....

Dragon Ball handed us a protagonist with no history and the internet named him John Dragon Ball. So we built him somebody to talk to....
