Component Breakdown
--- Developed as joint venture between Getsinger Shipyard and the Leinonen Drydock Company (Pronounced: LAY-no-nin), the Explorer-Class is, for now at least, the final word in survey vessels. Utilizing a Leinonen produced Jump Drive and a brand new engine devised as a joint venture between the two companies, the Explorer is in essence the Galileo-Class, but refined and reduced to allow for greater range and Jump Capability. These combine to make the Explorer-Class the first survey ship to possess true inter-stellar capability. A far more refined version of Getsinger's double-monocoque produces a hull with acceptable structural integrity with only half the thickness of the one used on the Galileo I. A brand-new sensor suite features Naval Grade hardening, half sized passive calibrators and active sensors both one-third the weight of the more common models while being completely integrated into the ship's bridge. This removes the need for dedicated sensor operators, as the bridge crew can monitor the sensors themselves. The class also retains the cryogenic bay to aid the crew in the event of life support damage and/or failure. The ship isn't all improvements though; as the maintenance life is halved despite the range being nearly quadrupled over it's predecessor. Also, it's worth noting that the dedicated Damage Control systems of the Galileo-class is absent from the Explorer. An odd quirk of the Explorer-Class is the thousand liters of fuel set aside for maneuvering.
