Atmosphere Range: Vapor extends 30 meters from
hull in all directions
Damage: -1 from sensor detection, renders ship
invisible to visible light detection

While not known as an expansionist race, the Ulfgar are fascinated by alien life, and the
Piton explorer allows them to study life in virtually any habitat.
The Piton's reenforced hull allows it to journey into extremely
high pressure areas, including the deepest of oceans, and the craft
is equipped with extremely sophisticated repulsors, allowing it a
great degree of atmospheric maneuverability. Finally, it is fitted
with a vapor cloak that allows it to remain over low tech
civilizations, without disturbing them overmuchly.
The Piton is equipped with a number of laboratories, including
numerous branches of xeno-biology, such as zoology, ichthyology,
botany and so on. In addition, the craft has geology, archaeology,
and paleontology labs, and a sophisticated control center for it's
remote probes.
These probes can be controlled from up to 40,000 km. away, and
the Piton craft is often either grounded (on uninhabited worlds),
or concealed, and the probes are sent out to gather specimens and
data.
