Using a custom 400-ton hull, the Hkiyrerao-class ship is utilized for the investigation of scientific phenomena or for conducting tests at newly discovered worlds. Fuel tankage of 150 tons supports the powerplant and allows one jump-3, and the cargo bay can be converted to additional fuel storage for full jump capability. Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/5 computer. There are fifteen staterooms and ten low berths. The ship has four hard-points installed and four tons allocated to fire control. No turrets or weapons are installed. The ship carries one pinnace and one G-Carrier as vehicles. The 50-ton cargo hold is fitted out as a scientific laboratory. The ship is streamlined.
The ship requires a crew of four: captain/pilot, navigator, and two engineers. When on missions, an executive officer/head scientist is also required. A staff of up to 10 scientists can also be carried.
