Exploratory Star Destroyer

An Exploratory Star Destroyer was a specialized ship of the Varino Imperium created due to the high militarization of the shipyards and this class reflects that combining the roles of Escort, Colony Ship and Exploration and Planetary Survey Ship, it was a short-lived concept however one such ship designed from this program was the Nebulon-class Exploratory Star Destroyer which appeared as a mix of the a  and the Varino-class Star Destroyer. Ships of this type were notable for size compared to many smaller survey vessels, which was reflected in all of the Varino Imperium's designs during it's isolation. These ships would always have large amounts of sensor and survey equipment but a lackluster armament. Ships of this class, as with the size categorization of Star Destroyers, were between one  and two kilometers in size, however, it's differences were made into a separate class as to differentiate this class in naval records at the behest of the heads of Imperium's Navy.
