Sidewheelers, named for their tendency to have massive paddlewheels on their sides that somehow convert the frantic peddling of [[Giant Space Hamster]]s into motive force, are the creation of the [[Tinker Gnome]]s of [[Krynn]]. That right there is all the warning you need if you're at all familiar with the dreaded Minoi. For the unfamiliar, the Minoi are an entire race of bungling inventors who build oversized, overly intricate contraptions that never work right, with the level of "go wrong" varying from "collapse into a heap of junk" to "violently explode". Referred to as "the ship of the desperate", only the most gullible, foolish, demented, or lacking in options of non-Minoi will have anything to do with them, and most intelligent creatures will avoid them like the plague. Even [[Illithid]]s and [[Neogi]] think twice before trying to plunder a Sidewheeler. Such is the ramshackle and shoddy nature of Sidewheeler construction that there is a 50% chance when the vessel attempts to land that it will crash, explode, fall apart, or otherwise be rendered inoperable upon touching down. Non-Minoi [[gnome]]s have been known to become space pirates solely to hunt down and destroy Sidewheelers as a blemish on the good name of the gnomish race.
