The Hyper-warp escape ships are three small spaceships that where stored somewhere in the Satellite of Love without anybody knowing about their existence. That was until Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot and Gypsy found them in the episode Space Mutiny. Instead of telling Mike Nelson about the ships and using them to escape the SOL, Crow and Servo used them for a space battle. After the battle they tried to return the ships to the SOL, but ended up crashing into the SOL completely destroying the ships in the process. Gypsy followed not much later, also crashing her ship into the SOL.

It is unknown if the Hyper-warp escape ships have always been in the SOL, since in the episode Mitchell it was mentioned that the Deus ex Machina was the only escape pod.
