Planetary surveyors are the trailblazers of the 24th Century—the first to explore new worlds, or even the first to set foot upon them. Where scouts do their work from a ship, planetary surveyors are often called to get up close and personal: land the ship, drive a four-wheeler or boat around to get the lay of the land, wrestle a six-eyed flying shark, then set up camp while the drones do a bit of terrain mapping. However, even though some surveyors have a reputation as rugged survival experts, make no mistake: they do their job with science!

Planetary Surveyor includes everything you need to embark on your career exploring interesting new planets.
