Explorer

With a focus on sublight speed and carrying lots of equipment, the Explorer class of ship is for those that prefer to discover new systems and load their ships for charting and gathering rather than combat. A total of 7.2 ZWs of energy powered this lightly shielded vessel, as well as a passive pulse scanning array, allowing the Explorer to see undiscovered systems from up to 20 lightyears away, regardless of the system star type. That being said, with a speed matching a Fighter and having a decent hold size, the Explorer also excels at quick, high-value cargo exchange.
