  • Captain: Niobe
  • First mate: Ghost
  • Pilot: Niobe

  • Other crew: None

The Logos is a hovercraft in Reloaded, Revolutions, and Enter the Matrix. The name is derived from the Greek word Logos which is usually translated into the English as word, but has varied meaning in philosophy, analytical psychology, and religion.

The smallest vessel in the fleet, it supports a crew complement of only three Zion personnel: Niobe, Ghost, and Sparks. Built for sheer speed over any other attribute, the Logos has the purpose of relaying urgent information as well as serving as a carrier for its two pod-born crewmen. Its combat abilities are technically negligible when compared with other ships in the fleet, but Ghost's skill with its guns allows it to nevertheless be a significant threat to attacking Sentinels.

The Logos is Mark XIV Number 14 and built in 2101. Mark 14:14 reads "And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"

When Zion's attack becomes imminent, the Logos crew coordinates the recall before joining the rest of the fleet in Zion. When the Council inquires of the fate of Morpheus and his ship the Nebuchadnezzar, the Logos and the hovercraft Vigilant search for the Neb, eventually participating in a skirmish within the Matrix involving Agents and minions of the Merovingian.

The Logos is later disabled when it is attacked by a massive horde of Sentinels as well as a Sentinel Tow Bomb, necessitating the use of its EMP. As a result, it survives the assault, but it is depowered as an unavoidable side effect. The hovercraft Mjolnir finds it shortly, rescuing the crew of the destroyed Nebuchadnezzar and giving the Logos a jump-start. Later, Niobe does give the Logos to Neo and Trinity so that they can travel to the Machine city, in an attempt to stop the war with the Machines. The Logos is rendered inoperable on impact when it crash-lands in the Machine City.

"Logos" is the Greek word which literally means Word and refers to the Christian use of it in referring to Jesus as "The Word" - John 1:1.
