The Science Vessel is a flying detector unit that has no direct attacks but can use powerful abilities. It's diverse abilities make it a threat to both Protoss and Zerg enemies.
Lore
Many Colonies have placed Explorer Platforms at surgical points throughout the galaxy to further study anomalous phenomena, and the Corps' own Epsilon Squadron uses them extensively along Confederate borders for surveillance and study. Recently, as alien forces have begun to infringe upon Colonial space, Explorer Vessels and crew have been recalled to help with the research and production of new military weapons systems and technologies, as well as providing electronic warfare and combat support.
