[edit] General

The Rhyzin scout ship is one of the most important crafts every created by the Rhyzin. It is smaller than NASA's shuttle and made up much more equipment. The scout ship is completely controled by A.I. and operates on a theory that the Rhyzin were bold enough to try, on Earth it is called the Bussard Ramjet.

[edit] How it Works

Using an ion dish mounted on the front of the space craft the ship accelerates until it reaches its chosen destination. In which the engine shuts off(no friction in space so the craft keeps moving at its current rate), it drops the satelite, reignites the engine, and continues to explore even further into space. All information is sent back to Altazar using a Tachyon Restricted Beam (see further down). At the front and extending to cover almost the entire ship, is a shield designed to absorb all signals.

[edit] Purpose

The Rhyzin has two purposes. The first is to see things in current time, scientists were tired of seeing nebulas as they were eons ago. The second is to find a civilization to communicate with. After the disaster at Almas 2, the Rhyzin wish to know if they were the only species who could drop all hatred to each other for the advancement of their species.
