Technical Configuration

Main Article: Centaur II-class Science Vessel

The USS Arimathea is a unique vessel that represents a refit and update of the original Centaur-class scout ships, combining three generations of Starship technology. Despite its age, the Arimathea remains in active service, a testament to its adaptability and effectiveness in scientific exploration. This small starship, with its eclectic mix of technologies, presents both advantages and challenges for its crew members.

Engineers and scientists on board the Arimathea face definite challenges due to limited facilities and high maintenance requirements. The vessel's design requires meticulous care and expertise to ensure optimal performance and operational integrity. The crew's ingenuity and resourcefulness play a vital role in maintaining the ship's systems while conducting groundbreaking research.

On the other hand, tactical officers aboard the Arimathea might find themselves with fewer combat-related responsibilities. The primary focus of the vessel is scientific exploration rather than engaging in direct combat. However, the ever-changing nature of deep space exploration means they must remain vigilant and prepared to protect the ship and its scientific mission from unexpected threats.
