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 hardpoints 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 labratory. The ship is streamlined.
The ship requires a crew of four: captain/pilot, navigator, and two engeieers. When on missions, an executive officer/head scientist is also required. A staff of up to 10 scientists can also be carried.
