mIn [[spacecraft classification]], a science vessel (or research vessel) is a limited-role [[starship]]. It is not well armed, but instead carries several [[Science Labs|laboratories]], advanced [[sensors]], and in some cases, advanced [[Deflector shield|deflector shields]]. Ships of this class are used for scientific research missions, such as observing the collapse of a star, mapping newly discovered planets and nebulae or simply be an isolated location for hazardous experiments. However, most science vessels are not designed for long term missions.
