The Baso Rita class Small Survey Ship is a TL–12 well known exploration starship.
Description
Although the Donosev class Survey Scout is the principle survey vessel of the IISS, the service is almost always short of vessels. To help fill the gaps, the Scouts have developed a version of the Leaping Snowcat class Safari Ship as a less expensive survey and exploration ships. Used by both the Imperial Grand Survey and the Exploration Office, this model dispenses with the luxury fittings and the large lounge found in the basic safari ship. Instead it carries a comprehensive array of sensors, two laboratories for basic scientific research in the field, and an enhanced display system for displaying and collating data.
A probe launcher is installed in the turret; other armament (if any) varies with the ship's mission and location. An emergency aid station is fitted to treat injuries in the field. The capture tanks are retained, but are often used as general cargo space. Occasionally, this variant is assigned to a detached Scout - or group of Scouts - with an exceptional service record.
A typical crew numbers 15: five bridge crew, a flight tech, three engineers, medic, three service crew, and two mission specialists.
