It was developed for the purpose of conducting expeditions into unexplored parts of space, but at the beginning of the total expansion these vessels were re-equipped to counter the vessels' force shields. As Ion technology advanced, jammers of force shield generators transcended the limits of experimental designs and science vessels, instead of expeditionary hardware, began to be equipped with such jammers. However, to this day in expeditions, if there are Science vessels in the fleet, it is possible to anticipate movement to the anomalous zone and avoid missing the fleet in 10% of cases.
