Description
A compact hyperdrive, long-endurance reactor, passive receivers, active sensor arrays, and a dedicated analysis core allow the craft to examine successive systems without a crew. It records traffic, emissions, orbital activity, and navigational hazards before forwarding condensed reports through encrypted burst transmissions. Probe ships can remain dormant between survey cycles and withdraw automatically when confronted by forces beyond their defensive limits.
