Long Range Surveillance Ship (LRS)
Eternal Vigilance Class

Platform Overview:
The Eternal Vigilance class Long Range Surveillance ship provides the eyes and ears for an HCBG and PRG. Equipped with multiple arrays of high-powered active and passive sensor suites, the LRS is ideal for providing early-warning of impending attack, enhancing battlegroup track correlation and improving the efficiency of offensive and defensive operations. Although lightly armed, the LRS is equipped with Low Observability technology, which reduces its vulnerability to attack. In addition, the smaller mass of the LRS combined with an impressive AP power plant allows for rapid acceleration and maneuver away from high threat situations. The LRS can also be employed as an effective intergalactic exploration platform, since its ability to gather and process data has as much utility for scientific pursuits as combat operations.
