Inspiration Class Deep Space Explorers are the largest and fastest Human vessels serving in the Deep Space Exploration Group. They serve on the longest and most far-ranging exploration missions, sometimes lasting more than a decade. Inspiration Class vessels are the most rare Deep Space Explorer type starship. They are not capable of landing on planetary surfaces. The primary advantage that Inspiration Class starships have over smaller Deep Space Explorers is their ability to carry multiple Deep Space Scouts in addition to their large complement of shuttlecraft. They also have the capability to split into two smaller vessels in emergency situations. One of the most famous exploration teams in modern Human star-faring history is that of Deep Space Explorer Inspiration and its equally capable T’lar counterpart, Star Explorer Hy’anai.
