While U.S.S. Surveyor serves as the Division’s long-range science explorer, the U.S.S. Britannia is the muscle behind the unit’s mandate.
The typical mission profile of Britannia Division can take on a wide range of specific tasks. From logistical support, scientific research and long-range exploration, to humanitarian response and diplomatic envoy missions.
Typically, each vessel will be assigned its own task, and when required, the other may be called upon to assist by augmenting the other’s areas of weakness.
The U.S.S. Britannia serves as the division flagship – her superior tactical capabilities and role as a capital ship make her the obvious choice for assuming command and control of any given situation. In any joint mission, she will coordinate the appropriate response and provide her resources as required to achieve a shared goal.
The U.S.S. Surveyor is, in some ways, superior and more specialised in scientific tasks. She may take the lead when the mission leans towards research and exploratory requirements. She is marginally superior in maximum speed, and her smaller profile makes her perfect for missions that require a more subtle approach. While her flagship can always be made available to arrive with heavy support to even the tactical envelope or provide intense logistical support, she remains a capable vessel operating independently in her own right.
