Explorator-class Exploration Vessel

The Explorator-class Exploration Vessel was built specifically for the expansion of the Black Star Confederacy. Although not an actual warship, the class was capable of dealing with vast numbers of enemy fighters without support, due to its armament of 20 turreted quad laser cannons.

The Explorator-class was designed with the perils of a journey into unknown space in mind. Each ship carried a squadron of Ra-class Scout Fighters, 1,000 soldiers, and 5,000 colonists in cryogenic sleep. Their shields were immensely powerful, as befitting a vessel designed for such hazardous duty. All personnel onboard, from the captain to the lowliest colonist, were volunteers.
