The Dawn Star is the most powerful and advanced research vessel imaginable. It is designed to be able to travel incredibly long distances with comfort. It has everything necessary to explore new lands and discover the purpose of new items.
It comes equiped with a functional research lab, a well stocked mess hall to feed the crew during long voyages to new lands, Cannons to fend off attackers including several that will fire automatically with the flick of a switch (the latest in military technology), it has a medical bay supplied with everything the sick or injured could ever need, and enough sleeping for a massive crew to relax during travel.
