Caldonian Science Cruiser

The Caldonian Science Cruiser is a respectable ship that completely replaced previous cruiser designs. Superior to other equivalents, such as the unrefitted Constellation, the Caldonians are proud of their cruiser, which has performed many surveys of local space, including on the Klingon side of the border. It may not have great speed, but it has sufficient firepower and durability to ward off opportunistic Birds of Prey. Each Science Cruiser is named for a famous Caldonian scientist, and placed under a dual command of Ship Senior Research Master, and Ship Commander. While on scientific missions, the Research Master will be responsible for the overall mission, with the Ship Commander there to carry out their requirements. In other situations, however, including emergency responses, the Research Master will return to their labs and the Ship Commander will take over.

The Science Cruiser is being replaced by a new, larger science cruiser design.

Proposed re-creation and refit proposal.
