Polymath
Solarian grand-mastery commission — one hull that mines, fights, hauls, and surveys. None of it best in class, all of it competent, and built from a piece of every ship in the fleet.

Lore
The Confederacy does not, as a rule, build a ship to do everything — its design
committees prefer a specialist for each task, each with its own documentation.
The Polymath is the exception they grant exactly once, to a captain who has
mastered a discipline outright. It carries mining lasers, weapon mounts, survey
gear, and cargo holds in the same hull, and a review board will tell you,
accurately, that a dedicated miner pulls more ore, a cruiser brings more guns, a
hauler moves more freight, and an explorer sees farther. The Polymath's answer is
that it does all four without docking to refit, which no specialist can claim. It
is assembled from a component of nearly every vessel in the Solarian catalog, and
it is priced as though you bought one of each — because, in materials, you very
nearly did.
