Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Darwin is a three-hundred-ton survey scout with Jump-2 range, three-gravity acceleration, advanced electronics, two laboratories, and four points of armor. Eight staterooms and four emergency berths support an eight-person crew and specialists during sustained exploration.

A mixed beam-laser, missile, and sandcaster turret provides basic defense, while the 83-ton hold carries probes, field equipment, supplies, and samples. The ship is a capable independent survey platform but lacks fuel-processing equipment for wilderness refueling.
