Star Fleet is, first and foremost, an exploratory and research organization. Most of its ships come equipped with an impressive array of sophisticated laboratories, scientific instruments, and related technology. In many cases this equipment not only allows scientists and researchers to do their jobs, it actually makes their jobs easier.

	To represent its scientific equipment and resources, every ship has a Science rating. Some Science ratings represent technology and systems so advanced that they grant Test Result bonuses to any ~~Science~~ skill Test made with them (this would include analyzing sensor data, but not operating the sensors themselves). The accompanying table indicates the SU cost, Power cost per round of use, and effects of the various Science ratings. A second table provides a separate listing for the number of laboratories a ship has, which cost SUs but not Power; every 5 labs (or portion thereof) provides a +5 bonus to Skill Tests. The third table details the usual numbers of labs per ship, based upon class. The designer of the ship can specify what’s in each lab (perhaps leaving some unspecified for special missions) if he wants to.
