Designed by SHIPS for Windows III v 15.3 Used for research into jumpspace, misjumps and so on, this is an essentially disposable unmanned jump-capable ship. It uses drop tanks, and the pilot/navigator bails out before the jump occurs, leaving the ship to run entirely under computer control. As such the ship has no life support at all. The ship is built to be as survivable as possible, with redundancy in as many systems as possible. The computer records data during the flight, and if, due to misjump or whatever, it should find itself in interstellar space will orientate itself and head for the nearest system, either by jumping there or going via real-space (using a 1G drive for fifty days will bring the ship up to roughly 1/7th of the speed of light). Depending on the length of time the journey should take, the ship may shut itself down in flight to save it fuel until it needs it. Upon arrival in the new system the ship will broadcast to whoever may be there to be recovered (though the data it carries is highly encrypted). The Imperial Navy offers a substantial reward for the return of these research ships, and punishments for those who do not; the ship is marked as such, and has a recorded message which also drives the point home. The ship class is named after one of the scientists involved in early Vilani jump-drive research. |
