High
Endurance Research Cruiser (HRC)
To Seek, To Find
Class
Platform Overview:
The To Seek, To Find class High Endurance Research
Cruiser is the heart of the High Guard's intergalactic
exploration efforts. Capable of long-term, independent
operations far from established Slipstream portals in uncharted
regions of space, the HRCs are equipped for the study of
any new scientific phenomenon or research opportunity. Although
well armed in the interest of their own self-defense, these
vessels are crewed primarily by civilian scientists and
engineers. Traditionally, the CO of an HRC is also the Chief
Scientist and is supported by an Argosy XO who oversees
the crew and combat operations. An HRC can be recalled for
combat duty, but only in the direst emergencies.
