This is the HEAVEN-1 Probe from We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor.



Thrown together on the cheap largely out of surplus spacecraft parts by the Free American Independent Theocratic Hegemony (FAITH) in cooperation with Australia in 2133 after the development of the SURGE Drive. The HEAVEN-1 Probe was intended to survey distant star systems for planets suitable for colonization and to replicate itself. It's crew is composed of a single Replicant, a software recreation of a dead human's consciousness. In the case of HEAVEN-1, the Replicant was Robert (Bob) Johannson. While possessing a state of the art reactionless propulsion system and a capable sensor suite, manufacturing capacity and workforce of ROAMers (basic AI drones), the HEAVEN-1 Probe did lack several notable systems, most notably planetary exploration units and weapons systems. A problem given that Brazilian Empire launched off a number of probes that were armed specifically to destroy rival probes. In subsequent replications Bob would correct many of these deficiencies.
