Serengeti-Class

The standard survey ship, showing no sign of being replaced any time soon.

This small starship can map out starsystems and descend to a planet and perform a biological survey.

Its streamlined 300-ton (SM +7) hull relies on contragravity supplemented by reactionless drives for quiet landings and takeoffs.

Front Hull System

• [1] Nanocomposite Armor.
• [2] Multipurpose Array (comm/sensor 8).
• [3-5] Habitats (two cabins each).
• [6] Habitat (two-bed sickbay).
• [core] Control Room (C7 computer, comm/sensor 6, and three control stations).

Central Hull System

• [1] Nanocomposite Armor.
• [2-4] Habitats (two cells each).
• [5] Habitat (one lab).
• [6!] Secondary Battery (two turrets with 10 MJ improved lasers, 12 tons cargo).

Rear Hull System

• [1] Nanocomposite Armor.
• [2!] Standard Reactionless Engine (1G acceleration).
• [3] Engine Room (one workspace).
• [4-5!] Stardrive Engines (FTL-1 each).
• [6!] Contragravity Lifters.
• [core] Fusion Reactor (two Power Points).

It has artificial gravity and a dynamic chameleon surface. The typical complement consists of three control crew, one medic, two scientists, and one technician. Turrets are controlled from the control stations.
