Take the Zeus ES beyond mapped routes

The Zeus ES does more than mark a location. After using the long-range systems, scanner suite, and vehicle space, the crew can investigate the site and return with maps, samples, or detailed records. Sensors, navigation tools, supplies, and onboard support give the Zeus ES the equipment needed to investigate beyond familiar routes and still plan the return. The RSI Zeus Mk II ES comes with a cargo area sporting up to 32 SCU of storage.
