10.0 Science and Remote Sensing Systems

Many are surprised to learn that the Camelot, while not the most super-advanced, has a rather decent sensor and science sensor system. While its primary role is exploration and defense, it is a capable scientific research vessel if the need arises.

There are four primary sensory systems aboard the Camelot. The first is the long-range sensory array located at the front of the Engineering Hull. This package of high-power devices is designed to sweep far ahead of the ship's flight path to gather navigational and scientific information. The second major sensor group is the lateral arrays. These include the forward, port and starboard arrays on the rim of the Primary Hull, as well as the same arrays on the Engineering hull. The third major group is the navigational sensors. These dedicated sensors are tied directly into the ship's Flight Control systems and are used to determine the ship's location and velocity. They are located on the forward, upper and lower port, upper and lower starboard and aft and upper and lower arrays.

The fourth sensory system technically isn't used in combined mode. Each section contains its own set of complete sensor systems, for use in MVAM mode, especially if a protracted separation period is anticipated.
