Federation Probes Class 1 General description This type of probe is equipped with a full EM/subspace and interstellar chemistry pallet for in-space applications. The DS9TM states that Class 1 has an effective range of 32*106km and a total delta-v of 0.6c. If this is true, it means a considerable upgrade of the device. Class 2 General description This type of probe is equipped with a full EM/subspace and interstellar chemistry pallet for in-space applications. It is based on Class 1. In addition, Class 2 has enhanced long-range particle and field detectors and imaging systems. Class 3 General description This is a planetary probe, with a full range of terrestrial soft landing to subsurface penetrator missions. Gas giant atmosphere missions are survivable up to 450bar pressure. Specifications Planetary probe Range: 1,200,000km Max. speed: 0.65c Class 4 General description This is a stellar encounter probe, modified from Class 3. The probe is equipped with triply redundant stellar fields and particle detectors and a stellar atmosphere analysis suite. There are six ejectable/survivable radiation flux subprobes, deployable for nonstellar energy phenomena. Specifications Stellar encounter probe Range: 3,500,000km Max. speed: 0.6c Class 5 General description This is a medium-range reconnaissance probe, with extended passive data-gathering and recording systems. The probe has a full autonomous mission execution and return system and is capable of atmosphere entry and soft landing. It is coated for low observability and may be modified for tactical missions with a custom sensor countermeasure package. Specifications Medium-range reconnaissance probe Range: 43*109km Max. speed: Warp 2 Class 6 General description This is a comm relay and emergency beacon, modified from Class 3. It provides 9270 RF and subspace channels, with a 360° antenna coverage and 0.0001 arc-second high-gain antenna pointing resolution. The probe features an extended deuterium supply for transceiver power generation and planetary orbit plane changes. Specifications Comm relay / emergency beacon Range: 43*109km Max. speed: 0.8c Class 7 General description This is a remote culture study probe, modified from Class 5. It is applicable to civilizations up to level III and has low observability coatings and hull materials. The maximum loiter time is 3.5 months. A low-impact molecular destruct package is tied to antitamper detectors. Specifications Remote culture study probe Range: 450*106km Max. speed: Warp 1.5 Class 8 General description This probe uses a modified photon torpedo casing. It is equipped with a standard sensor pallet and mission-specific modules. Its applications vary from galactic particles and fields research to early-warning reconnaissance missions. Specifications Medium-range multimission warp probe Range: 120ly Max. speed: Warp 9 Class 9 General description This probe uses a modified photon torpedo casing. It is equipped with a standard sensor pallet and mission-specific modules. The typical application is an emergency log/message capsule on homing trajectory to the nearest starbase or known Starfleet vessel position. Specifications Long-range multimission warp probe Range: 760ly Max. speed: Warp 9 Information gather from https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/starfleet_probes.htm
