The D'Var is an Orion workhorse field research vessel, equipped and optimized for the unusual environments they tend to find themselves in. It specializes in rapid collection and embarkation, and for good reason -- science takes time, and it's a great deal easier to steal someone else's discovery than make a new one. When the worst happens and a priceless alien artifact is indeed stolen, the Temporal Operations specialization proves crucial: simply tagging the fleeing ship with Temporal Anchor is enough to bring them right back to the scene of the steal, allowing the artifact to be repatriated more conveniently. The D'Var is an unusual vessel by most standards, but it's an unusual galaxy by any standard and the results speak for themselves.
This ship comes with a Commander Science/Temporal Ops and a Lt. Commander Engineering/Intel seat.
