Although
utilizing an identical drive system as the Scout, the Science Vessel is
a totally different ship altogether. The Science Vessel serves strictly
as an exploratory vessel with its hardware consisting mostly of advanced
sensors, probes, and other scanning devices. On some occasions, the Science
Vessels have been used by the Imperial Military to conduct tests on experimental
hardware such as various new warp drives and cloaking devices, but its
use has primarily been devoted to civilian scientists.
