Description: Being a vessel focused on scientific pursuits and engineering facilities, the ship has little to no defensive weapons or armor plating. However, it has a disproportionate number of scientists and engineers of various fields, and has specialized electronic warfare suites to aid it's high maneuverability in escapes and espionage.
Population: 7 000 personnel on board
Description: The Ljus is a small but high tech vessel, housing some of the most advanced laboratories and engineering facilities ever sent into space. The Ljus had two functions, the first being to compile a complete database of their destination planetary system, from astronomical mechanics to potential lifeforms and how they function in an alien ecosystem. It's second objective was somewhat more a precautionary measure: The Ljus was designed so that, if the fleet encountered a hostile alien vessel on their journey, it's high tech electronic countermeasures suite could buy the fleet enough time to escape or destroy the vessel. While this contingency never occurred, the systems are still maintained and are ready to be used in a moment's notice.

Some of the more advanced sub systems of the Ljus include:
-A shackled 'dumb' AI in charge of predictive software analysis, xenolinguistical interfacing and remote systems overload and hacking.
-Complex scout probes designed for operation in almost any environment, and capable of running on site field tests and operating autonomously for extended periods
-Thermal cloaking mechanism. that hides the Ljus' electromagnetic signature and confuses enemy targeting for short durations.
-A 'Last Resort' Thermonuclear warhead, designed to destroy all trace of the Ljus and prevent vital information falling into the wrong hands (Human or otherwise).

Captain Name: VIlda S. Aalberg
Description: Vilda is a calm and collected individual, focused on the task of directing the main research effort of the Fleet, once they arrived on the new world. Xenobiology, planetary system activity, astrogeology... All of it will be crucial data in setting up the first human colony in the cosmos, and Vilda is driven to make this colonization effort work. 
Unlike most of the other ships, she took over for the previous Captain, who had died due to medical complications regarding a reactor exposure. Because of the mysterious nature of this accident, and combined with the secretive nature of the Ljus' operations, Vilda is somewhat untrusted by most of the other ships in the Fleet.

Other Notable Individuals:
-Professor Adam J. Jakobsen, Head of the Scientific Affairs Board
-Doctor Troed Eriiks, Head of the Xenobiology Research Division
-Professor Emma Jonsson, Xenoarcheologist and assistant to Troed
-Vice Captain Gunnar Winblad, maintains and directs the Engineering Division, as well as other critical systems.
