- For the playable version, see Advanced Research Vessel and Advanced Research Vessel Retrofit.
The Nebula-class Science Vessel is a Starfleet vessel. Science vessels are not as hard-hitting as escorts or cruisers, but perform excellently in a support role. They have the strongest shields of any cruiser-level ship.
Nebula-class starships are similar to Federation Science Vessels, however they come with a Tachyon Detection Grid, which detects cloaked ships.
This is the NPC version of the Advanced Research Vessel Retrofit.
