Observatorium

The Observatorium-class is the Confederacy's answer to the fundamental question of astrophysics: "What are we not seeing?" Seven utility slots support the most comprehensive sensor architecture ever mounted on a mobile platform. The processing array — the most powerful on any T4 hull — runs predictive models, spectral analysis, and gravitational mapping simultaneously. Nine hundred units of fuel give it the endurance to reach phenomena that shorter-ranged vessels only theorize about. Solarian research councils compete fiercely for Observatorium deployment schedules, as a single expedition typically generates enough data for dozens of doctoral theses.
