- Code Clear: Combining durable omnidirectional deflector technology with unparalleled medical finesse, Uukaablian hospital ships number among the safest places in the known galaxy. These vessels have the resources to manage a crisis that rival many outer rim worlds.
- Rapid Response: Both in hyperspace and out, Lifewell cruisers are fast. They are designed reach emergencies as fast as possible so its crew can render aid.
- Do No Harm: Despite their size these ships are outfitted with no offensive weaponry. Only a point defense network and a single squadron of combat fighters are capable of inflicting damage, in an active battle zone the cruiser relies on its robust deflector systems to extract wounded and retreat.
- Drive Nacelles: Much of the starship's reactor power is shunted through its curving rear nacelles which offer a vulnerable target. Successfully damaging the cruiser's aft section can disrupt both its engines and power grid.
A reflection of modern uukaablian society, the Lifewell-class is one of the largest classes of medical ships currently operating in Coalition space. Known for their unrivaled dedication to advancing medical science, Uukaablis produces some of the finest physicians in the galaxy and to serve abroad on a hospital ship is considered a prized distinction in their culture. No matter how serious the injury if you can make it to a Lifewell there is a strong chance of pulling through.
With no offensive armament to speak of, cruisers often jump from system to system along with a combat escort. Usually an arrangement is reached with local representatives exchanging services for resupply. It is considered dishonorable within their culture not to render aid, so payment is rarely a concern. Lifewells are sleek, unmistakably alien, and a symbol of hope throughout the sector.
