Salvor
The Salvor Class Rescue Cutter was first introduced by the United States in 2328 as a long range system search and rescue platform for its Orbital Guard forces.  The Salvor has a powerful military HEPLAR drive and sufficient propellant reserves to allow it to reach remote parts of a star system as quickly as possible.  It can accommodate up to 66 passengers from a stricken spacecraft in reduced comfort.  The Salvor is in wide use in Sagitarius by the SDC as part of its commitment to the safe conduct of interstellar commerce and communication, and is often found docked with Waystation and Interstellar Very Large Baseline Interferometry Telescope Platforms.
