Kapit Scientist

The replacement for the Takaaki Researcher, the Kapit Scientist appears to be the dedicated fleet scout to the Kapit Courier's dedicated skirmish design. It is roughly equivalent to the larger Starfleet Kepler design in speed, endurance, weapons suite, and science facilities, but accommodations, shields, and hull appear to be inferior if only slightly in the latter two cases.

The Scientist has 280 to 360 crew.
