The NCCS Shadowdancer was the first of its class when construction was completed 17 years ago. This class of ships is currently the largest in the fleet and is primarily used for exploration and research. The majority of the complement is scientists and researchers. Before the Shadowdancer class, research took place on cramped, uncomfortable ships.

Type: Deep Space Explorer
Class: Crystal Falchion
Complement: 1500
