3788 Scale Federation Galactic Survey Cruiser WEM

The galactic survey cruiser is the most powerful unit used for deep space survey. Built on a modified heavy cruiser hull design, it has fewer weapons but is designed for long-range missions far from any base or support network. It is packed with special sensors and scientific research teams. During peacetime, galactic survey cruisers cruise through areas not yet explored, searching for new civilizations and for planets suitable for colonization but not inhabited by sapient species. In wartime, priority switches to finding metals and crystals to support the war effort. A few galactic survey cruisers actually serve with the fleet in active combat as the most powerful of electronic warfare vessels. The large shuttle bays, cargo spaces, and crew quarters are often used in such cases to carry six fighters or Marines.

The ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
