| The UE-2
represents the United States’ continuing experimentation with drone
spacecraft. The mission of the UE-2
is to serve as a data relay node for a scout ship, receiving
information collected and storing it against need. Should
something happen to the scout ship and it fails to report in on
schedule, the UE-2 is capable
of executing multiple stardrive jumps (up to four total) to a
pre-programmed destination to return whatever data it carries. In
this regard, the UE-2 is the
smallest operational starship in service. The UE-2 is naturally very stealthy,
and carries an enhanced sensor suite to allow it to conduct its own
passive reconnaissance of the system (as well as ensure that the quiet
burst transmissions from the scout are received). The UE-2 will often make independent
stardrive jumps with its scout ship partner, though the U.S. was
considering a larger scout tender with Long Jump capability that would
carry both ships to the target system and then depart, while both scout
and drone would make their own way back to a rendezvous point. UE-2s are available to the SDC as a
manufacturing license was procured by Mercer Heavy Industries to
produce them for the British Royal Starfleet. |
