“I don't want to believe. I want to know.” ― Carl Sagan





A small group of

Alliance ships escorts the SSV Sagan out of the Sol System.

The Sagan Expedition was formed in 2190 with members of the Systems Alliance, the Asari, the Turians and partially the Quarians. The goal was to repair the Relays one after another. Without the relays, ships depend on basic FTL Drives to reach other solar systems

which can last weeks, months or even decades .

But no existing ship class would be able to provide a crew in the years long travel without cryosleep. The Sagan class was designed and built between 2190 and 2195 as a mix of a Dreadnought and a Carrier to provide a crew of over 6000 for more than 15 years without restocking.



After the Systems Alliance repaired the Charon Relay they send the Sagan out to repair the other relays to etablish the network again to reconstruct the galactic society.

The next mass relay from Earth is the Arcturus relay, around 37 lightyears away, which means less than one week travel with maximum FTL (10 Lightyears per day with additional stops to deposit the heat). After that, next objective is the Relay in the Exodus Cluster (which is a 1 month trip) because it is a junction point leading into Asari and Krogan

Territories .



The Sagan is made for Deep Space Missions, had a own fuel factory on board as well as over 400 Starfighter, Shuttles and Drones.



Because they could not send out whole fleets due to the non-functioning Relays, the Sagan was built extremely tough for her long lone travel.

Through additional armor plates at strategic locations the Sagan is more robust than Kilimanjaro class Dreadnought ,

although it was not conceived as a war ship . T

he oversized mass driver weapons have all been replaced by smaller Thanix cannons , to obtain more space for internal structures like a fuel

refinery, shuttlebays, Cargo rooms for Repair Drones and a Biosphere for

additional food and Oxygen supplies .

Along with the reprocessing plants the Sagan can operate independently up to 15 years , should this be necessary .

At the moment, the Sagan is the only ship of this class.

After the Treaty of Farixen was cancelled

by the circumstance of war , the Alliance spend most of their financial resources to build Dreadnoughts like the new Denali class
