IPC-RV Savant

The Intergalactic Peace Corps Research Vessel Savant is the flagship of the secret IPC mission to the Milky Way Galaxy galactic core. Upon initial discovery and testing of the galactic core, scientists discovered that planets and stars that made up the vast center of the galaxy were exhibiting unusual behavior. Namely, the stars were glowing but not undergoing nuclear fusion, and the planets--although spinning on their axes--were not revolving around any of the other bodies. In short, it appeared as if the stars were glowing "on their own" and that gravity was on "pause." The Savant was sent out along with a squadron of six starfighters to investigate the phenomenon.

Composition
The Savant is a relatively large Earth space trooper carrier, decomissioned from military service after the IPC came to Earth. The hull is comprised of hardened titanisteel and has multiple transtanium view ports on its sides--which allows the current 250 passengers to view the glories of space and the beauty of the glowing golden galactic core.

The ship itself boasts the latest space navigation technology, and features on board include: The Savant's weaponry is admittedly limited, as it is a decomissioned military vessel. As such, on its mission to the galactic core, the Savant is flanked by six FTL-capable starfighters, three on each side.
 * FTL (Faster Than Light)-Capable Engines
 * Navigation AI, which can function both in normal and FTL-travel
 * Intercom system capable of encrypted wireless connections and transmissions from the bridge
 * Staircases for inter-level transportation
 * Transport vessels for surface planetary travel; can be quickly repurposed into a small space station
 * Air intake ventilation system--[Note: Engineer Ydalia Eraan has filed a formal complaint concerning ventilation design. Conduct proper investigations on ventilation system as soon as possible. Potential security breach concern.]

On its mission to the core, the Savant was at about half-capacity. The ship had room for 500 passengers comfortably--600 in case of emergencies.

Rooms and Amenities
As a former military vessel, the Savant isn't exactly comfortable, but it does boast a variety of rooms and sections that have made it an effective research vessel for its latest dangerous and secret mission. Rooms aboard the Savant include:
 * Bridge
 * Dormitories
 * Barracks
 * Hangar
 * Pilot bubble with electronic connectors for pilot Cyber-Seer Kelhedros Tyrax and two flanking seats for co-pilots
 * Engineering Bay
