Max. crew: 22 000
Norm. crew: 10 000
Min. crew: 1
Cargo space: 3 km³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: Two large Antimatter reactors and four large fusion reactors.
Info: Exploreison class was designed before Gorg war, though that version was never built. Exploreison was designed multiple times and the last one, which was designed only a little before the end of the Peace Station project. The G.A.S. Exploreison was in the space dock for about six months, it was the first Exploreison class ship to be constructed also it was the first ship that was built under the name of Gigerdi Alliance and also first ship to be built with the new jump drive. First it was planned that the first Exploreison class would be names as "Alliance" because it would be the first ship constructed by the Gigerdi Alliance. Exploreison also had new organic armor, which had never before been used. The armor proved to be excellent armor and has saved Exploreison classes several times. Exploreisons have only little of firepower, but do have quite a lot of fighters and good shielding and of course good armor. Exploreisons are a bit considered to be science vessels as well. Currently about three Exploreison class ships fly under the Gigerdi Alliance Research & Exploration. Exploreisons usually have ships protecting them or then they work with other science or exploration ships.

Tiedemies Class Exploration Ship
Max. Crew: 300
Min. Crew: 150
Length: 1,6 km
Weapons: Four medium Particle Disruptors, Two heavy particle Disruptors and Two EMP cannons.
Shields: Heavy Antimatter Shields.
Special Equipment: Special science and research capabilities, mineral scanner and advanced sensors.
Fighters: None.
Cargo space: 0,3 km³
Capable of landing to planet: No.
Capable of atmospheric flight: No.
Info: The Tiedemies class exploration vessel was launched from the dock right after the IGA conflict. After the disasters of the “Exploreison project” and the “Exploreison MkII project” the GA government felt that it finally needed a ship capable to really explore worlds and space anomalies than to discover things which were already discovered. The Tiedemies class has got the Nexus drive and the gravimetric drive as the Jump drive and the propsys (Or is it the same thing? No, it shouldn't be.). The Tiedemies also uses an experimental “Plasma reactor” which was included by the GA R&E. The Tiedemies has some weapons too, which can finally defend itself without the help of other ships or fighters. The ship has a very little crew amount even because of its size. At the maiden voyage of the “Tiedemies”, it helped the Mechanoids to repair an old GA subspace station in the Mechanoid territory, in the year 3364.

Info: Searcher was the main exploration ship before the Gorg war, actually about 10 years ago. Searcher was in service a LONG time. It was good at the time it served the Gigerdi Federation. Searchers started the exploration in the Andromeda, but gave it to other exploration and science ships after the Dominion war ended. Then they were all put out of service and were also decommissioned.
