**First Appearance:** #book10 [[Filic Creel]]’s research vessel ship. A roughly cylindrical superstructure over a kilometer long, with a series of geodesic dome-like structures mounted on it, canted and spaced so they made room for each other. Several of the domes are transparent, but some are enclosed in solid panels. A module at one end of the central superstructure probably holds a power plant, other critical systems, and a drive. A smaller module festooned with sensor clusters and protruding bits and bobs hangs off the other end.
