  info: 'The basic Heron hull design has always served the Caldari well as a scout,
    survey and exploration ship but the Caldari Navy wished to optimize its upgraded
    Herons with enhanced missile systems and dedicated processing to support combat
    probing. The trade-off meant stripping out the specialized salvaging systems to
    make room for the Heron Navy Issue''s combat upgrades.


    The security of the State requires that its scouting and exploration capabilities
    be accompanied by sufficient firepower to seize and hold any new discovery or
    destroy interlopers at the fringes of Caldari space.'
