== Class 1==
Speed - .5c<br>
Range - 200,000 km

Short-range astronomical probe which analyzes EM radiation, interstellar chemistry, and subspace fields.

== Class 2 ==
Speed - .65c<br>
Range - 400,000 km

Short-range astronomical probe which analyzes EM radiation, interstellar chemistry, and subspace fields.

== Class 3 ==
Speed - .65c<br>
Range - 1,200,000 km

These probes land on planets and return samples, thus providing a detailed on-site analysis of the planet. Crews can also use Class 3 probes to analyze the capabilities of enemy starships. They have 'stealth' capabilities.

== Class 4 ==
Speed - .6c<br>
Range - 3,500,000 km

These probes perform close observation of stars and other high-energy phenomena.

== Class 5 ==
Speed - Warp 2, .5c<br>
Range - 430 billion km

These probes land on planets and return samples, thus providing a detailed on-site analysis of the planet.

== Class 6 ==
Speed - .8c<br>
Range - 430 billion km

Communicator relays and emergency beacons. They cannot attain warp speed (to make it harder to detect them with subspace sensors), but have high sublight velocities. When a Class 6 probe exhausts its fuel supply, it coasts and broadcasts a recovery signal toward Federation Space. The probe's navigational module facilitates recovery and trajectory tracking.

== Class 7 ==
Speed - Warp 1.5, .5c<br>
Range - 450 billion km

These probes orbit an inhabited planet for up to three months to collect information about its inhabitants and relay it to the ship. They have 'stealth' capabilities.

== Class 8 ==
Speed - Warp 8/9<br>
Range - 12 light years at Warp 8, 6.5 hours at Warp 9.

Long range sensor probes. In crisis situations, they can be used to send a lone passenger on an emergency mission. The range of a class 8 probe depends on its speed. Its long range sensors have a range of 6 light years.

== Class 9 ==
Speed - Warp 8/9<br>
Range - 14 days (76 light years) at Warp 8, 12 hours at Warp 9.

Long range sensor probes. In crisis situations, they can be used to send a lone passenger on an emergency mission. The range of a class 9 probe depends on its speed. Its long range sensors have a range of 12 light years.
