Lyell

A Self-jump capable Geosurvey Vessel designed in 2036.

The Lyell faced a drawn out approval process first with three options presented to the UNEC, the Lyell-B was chosen, then a tendering process saw Cornucopia picked to build the Lyell but the specifics on the price and other technological trade offers became rather convoluted, dragging on for months, in the mean time, the original design spec was lost and a new one had to be drafted on the theoretical performance draft. Finally the UNRL Deputy was dissatisfied with the approval process and expedited vote raised by UNIN to conclude the deal with Cornucopia moved the vote was illegitimate, finally the UNRL Councillor opted to vote with UNIN and the deal was struck

10 Lyells were ordered from Cornucopia for 14.25Bn Euros + Ion Engine technology and 120t of Neutronium to assist Corny shipyards in building a second slipway.
