--- The ship that surveyed (almost) the entirety of the Sol System, the
Galileo-Class has only one ship of it's kind in service, the C.E.S.
Galileo I. The pride and joy of the Getsinger Shipyard (Pronounced: GET-sin-jer), the
Galileo-Class is, as of the Year 75, currently preserved in a museum stationed in LEO. The class has been succeeded by Getsinger's own
Explorer-Class, a much more modern and capable, if far less robust ship which not only finished the job of surveying the Sol system, but now goes to other systems to survey them as well. However, on the topic of the
Galileo-Class; at the time of her laying, she made use of a then revolutionary double-monocoque hull construction technique, making it light and sturdy. She was powered by what were at the time the most powerful engines ever designed, giving her a fantastic top speed of 3,375 km/s. A 73.6 billion kilometer round trip range gave her plenty in the tank, while her provision of comestibles was deemed sufficient for a deployment of one year and four months. A high end Command & Control scheme ensured that her potent suite of survey sensors did not go to waste, while her already generous provision of engineering and maintenance systems were further augmented by a dedicated centralized control area. Navigational sensors aided the near two hundred person crew in getting from Point A to Point B with crashing into things, as well as contributing to the data they collected on the planets and anomalies that they surveyed. A cryogenic bay provided respite for said crew in the event of life support failure. The
Galileo-Class was also unique in that it was, and still is, the only ship ever designed to feature a dedicated Damage Control system.
