Civilisation Ship

It is only with extreme reluctance that anyone admits to these vessels being capital ships. Designed primarily as a short-range scout vessel these ships were little more than a mobile sensor platform with token armament of a single heavy plasma cannon. Built and fielded in pairs to allow for efficient exploration of a system without appearing overly hostile in the event they came across another civilisation.

After the loss of both the [i]Pioneer[/i] and [i]Voyager[/i] during early exploration the use of ships of this size was reconsidered; the remaining four vessels are scheduled to be decommissioned as soon as replacement hulls are complete.
