MAXWELL is a Tesla-class Surveyor. After successfully testing and improving the DELPHI array deep space sensor system on the USS FENRIS, it was decided to implement it in a smaller class of vessel with a strong emphasis on scientific use. It quickly became evident that a medium-sized ship of 300 to 450 crew would be the platform suited best, filling the gap between the WOLFE-class frigates and the DIOGENES-class cruisers both in size and crew. | MAXWELL is a Tesla-class Surveyor.
