The RS Harlegand is an Ares-Class Short-Range Research Vessel (ARC-SRRV). It is one of more than 100 owned by Tellurium Industries as part of the Research and Development (R&D) and New Materials departments.

Each ARC is outfitted to have a crew of eight; six researchers, a co-pilot, and a pilot/captain. Most cleaning is automatic throughout the vessel, except for dishes and laundry, with facilities for both available for the crew. Functional areas are on the first level, crew quarters on the second, and flight deck on the third. The maximum travel range before refueling and restocking is 30 days of standard travel.

The Harlegand itself is one of several ARCs specially retrofitted for xenobiological retrieval; specifically, anything considered a 'plant' under galactic law. There are two laboratories on board; one is for storage and observation of xenobiological samples, and the other is for investigation of xenobiology. The docking area is also outfitted with HAZMAT showers which do not recycle their water into the general filtration system. It is stored for incineration upon refueling.

The crew deck holds bunk rooms for researchers to the ship's left, two researchers per bunk room, with captain and co-pilot rooms to the right. The kitchen is fully stocked, and coffee and tea are available on demand. Laundry is available, as well as shared ablutions. Finally, two sensory deprivation chambers can be used at leisure to maintain the mental health and well-being of the crew.
