The term survey ship in the Vorkosigan Saga referred specifically to those ships sent by the Betan Astronomical Survey to unexplored pockets of the wormhole Nexus in order to find new routes and planets. These ships were able to stay out far from contact with Beta Colony for a year at a time. The only identified survey ship was the Rene Magritte; it was very fast and had a crew of 60. It would appear that Beta Colony also field-tested some of its newest military developments via these ships - the Rene Magritte had the testing of "projectors" as part of its mission in Shards of Honor.

- The survey ship is a medium sized starship capable of exploring anomalies, you start the game with one survey ship and at the time it is both your flagship and largest ship. When other medium scale ships are available it may be upgraded into a combat vessel.
- A Survey Starship for nearly one hundred years was the Oberth Class. This ship was underpowered, under-armed, and barely shielded. She could reach a maximum of Warp 5; she had one phaser array, Type VII, and one torpedo tube, mainly used for launching probes.

| - The survey ship is a medium sized starship capable of exploring anomalies, you start the game with one survey ship and at the time it is both your flagship and largest ship. When other medium scale ships are available it may be upgraded into a combat vessel. Be careful with your first survey ship. If it gets destroyed early, you won't be able to build another ship that can survey until you finish researching at least 4 particular technologies: Xeno Engineering > Xeno Research > Stellar Cartography > Sensors as well as Life Support III. To build a ship that has the same components as your original survey ship you need even more techs.

She could reach a maximum of Warp 5; she had one phaser array, Type VII, and one torpedo tube, mainly used for launching probes. The 24th Century Planetary Surveyor is the Nova Class Starship ; while she can only reach Warp 8, she is armed with 11 Type-Xb phaser arrays, two forward torpedo tubes, and higher-rated combat shields for ferrying VIPs. A refit Nova Class, like the USS Twilight , also has 14 science labs and 2 sickbays, 2 holodecks, and a number of shuttlecraft, including a specialized Waverider Shuttle for entering atmosphere. The vessel is also capable of planetfall, with retractable landing pads.
