It is a durable, mass-produced ship useful for initial explorations into unknown star systems. Compact and sturdy, the vessel nevertheless has the graceful, sweeping lines common to ships of the Azlanti Star Empire. The Voidsweeper boasts a long-range sensor array and sufficient room for a large contingent of surveyors and scientists, although passengers frequently complain that the crew’s quarters are substantially nicer than their own—a requirement, the crew insists, of a vessel designed for lengthy voyages. Voidsweepers are sometimes deployed by the Imperial Fleet to pacify worlds with less technologically advanced civilizations. Over such planets, Voidsweepers hover ominously in the sky, ready to deploy troops at a moment’s notice. The Voidsweeper boasts an array of weapons sufficient to disable satellites and destroy civilian buildings. In subjugated systems, Voidsweepers are used as patrol ships and to provide shows of force against rebels or dissidents.
Voidsweepers are heavily customized based on mission parameters; the spacious cargo bays might contain modular, prefabricated building components suitable for long-term planetary occupation, long-range communications arrays, or simply racks of stacked bunks to accommodate a company of Azlanti soldiers. Voidsweepers are commonly retrofitted between missions with an internal layout appropriate for the next venture. Imperial Fleet officers tend to be possessive about particular Voidsweepers under their authority, boasting of how many successful missions “their” Voidsweepers have undertaken. Officers frequently co-opt the versatile starships for personal missions and might insist on luxurious crew quarters or expansion bays that suit their specific interests.
