R-1 Investigator Research Station

by Bryan Jecko
NOTES:
        The R-1 Investigator Type orbital research station enables scientists to pursue research in secrecy and far from support installations. Designed to provide maximum comfort and utility for both researcher staff and support personnel, the R-1 Investigator can operate for up to 18 months without resupply. Traditionally, the stations are named after the planet they orbit; e.g., Lyrae Nicbe 1 or Vulcan 1. Though based on the standard R-1 design, the Investigator has the following modifications.

Botany Studies (Level 1)
Besides offering a park area, this level contains numerous floral specimines for study under different climatic conditions. Environmental control facilities allow scientists to examine specimen reaction to almost any climate. Automated systems running below this level regulate floral growth.

Specialized Labs (Level 15)
Extensive research labs replace most of the repair facilities on this level. This is where scientists work on their primary research experiments.

Notes - Graphic Change: The original graphic for the Invictus Type was a clear reference to the R-1 Regula station - a research instillation. It is clear that the R-1 is a non-military station. The R-1 Invistigator's graphics were switched with the Invitus for this reason.
