| - The Flagship refers to the Precursor vessel flown by The Captain in Star Control II. Despite its immense size by both Alliance and Hierarchy standards, The Flagship is actually a Precursor tugboat designed as a multi-purpose "workhorse".1 The ship itself is a framework to which a combination of separate enhancement modules can be attached. Along the spine of the ship are sixteen slots for mounting any of the variety of multi-function modules (those modules that house crew, provide storage space, supply energy, or are weapons), while navigation-related modules are mounted along the ship's outriggers. Because The Flagship is incapable of planetfall, it can also carry up to ten Planet Landers, which are useful for collecting resources (minerals and biological data) and artifacts from a planet's surface. Planet Lander missions are generally preceded by a thorough scan for minerals (using low-power deep-radar),2 large organisms (by detecting the substances they absorb and/or excrete)3 and energy sources, which usually indicate the presence of alien artifacts. While it is possible to configure The Flagship for combat, it also can support a escort fleet of up to twelve combat ships which can accompany and protect The Flagship as it travels through space. The first Flagship made from Precursor origin was known as the Vindicator, the default name on the 3DO version of Star Control II, though the name can be changed during the game for the Second Precursor Flagship see Precursor Flagship 2 which was also known as the Mark II. The name SIS (an abbreviation for Super Integrated Starship) is also sometimes used; it is how the ship is referred to internally in the code, but never in the actual game or manuals.
