ADF Rubicon

The ADF Rubicon (CS-60) is a Tigris class science cruiser. A 300 meter type ship intended as a long term third tier science platform. Her Captain is Captain Dieislan of the Ane History Scouts, a branch of the ADF. The Rubicon has a larger crew than the ADF Improbable, There are people other than Dieislan on board.
The Rubicon is an example of advanced "galactic" (tech level 16) technology. It is filled with such items as advanced warp drives, replicators, transporters, holodecks, advanced robotics and mind bogglingly powerful computers, magic like medical technology, and earth shattering weapons. 
The Rubicon has:
*Brought in industrial grade radiation and toxic waste remediation machinery to aid Earth in cleaning up the really bad spots. This is done regardless of ones membership or non-membership in the SRA.
*Recovered the wrecked Orion ships from Barnard's Star
*Runs colony supply missions to Association, El Nanth, and other locations.
*Aided the assembly of Covenant Station, used by the Corp of Discovery and the Solar Patrol.
*Cleanup and recovery of the Fukushima Reactors after the 2011 Earthquake and tsunami. Damage to the decommissioned, but not yet cool enough to dismantle fission reactors threatened the entire area.
==The Class==
The Tigris is the disodium replacement for the aging and slow Euphrates class. The Tigris is built to perform the job the Euphrates came to perform, the dedicated heavy science ship. Only she will do it without having a big target painted on her hull. The Tigris is a direct replacement. Tigris class ships will be available to universities and private expeditions for lease as were the Euphrates in their latter years.
