Description
A lightly armored dagger-shaped hull carries exceptionally powerful active and passive sensors, multispectrum arrays, signals-intercept equipment, dedicated analysis computers, and stealth systems. The protected command bunker coordinates reconnaissance and exploration missions while a class-one hyperdrive permits rapid repositioning. Twelve starfighters and assorted shuttles extend the vessel’s search radius. Turbolasers, ion cannon, laser cannon, and tractor beams allow a Surveyor to defend itself without compromising its primary intelligence mission.
