  History: 
  The Chameleon Class survey ship was 
  designed for planetary survey missions. 
  Starfleet’s strategy tended to be to drop 
  dozens of these vessels to scan every inch of 
  the planet surface. The Chameleon was 
  produced in such numbers that it was 
  inevitable that they would find their way into 
  the civilian market. Her one warp nacelle 
  generates a stable enough warp field allowing 
  for fast travel. Whilst the initial releases had 
  no weaponry many smaller companies 
  released after market garage kits allowing the 
  ship to be armed with an array of phasers.
