Research/Underwater Mothership R.S.V. Avala + Minisub + Diving Bell + Heli + ROV with Moon Pool

Launched in September 2021, the R.S.V. Avala is the fastest full-size RSV (Research/Survey Vessel) of OMUA (Oceanic Marine Underwater Agency), a (fictional) multinational marine and research agency. Designed specifically for projects requiring a quick deployment, the Avala can serve as the base of operations for an array of worldwide marine research projects in all types of conditions. Equipped with a rear deck moon-pool, the Avala has dive capabilities with the on-board Lil' Scut II submersible) and remote controlled SAAP mC-FI. The rear helipad houses a Ray LX-36 Micro Gyrocopter, and the stern cradles an AB Marine 10-AB RHIB. The RHIB and helicopter can signal the Avala to enable the AP and automatically come to their current location. The cargo deck features ISO standard container slots and can fit up to 6 containers. The Avala was built as a luxury vessel in as well as a work ship. The vessel contains private luxury living quarters, a mess deck with pool table and bar, a sundeck with hottub, an operations room, a conference room, a laboratory, an infirmary, a decompression chamber and a dive room. As with all OMUA vessels, all systems are designed to be operated by a 1-man crew, in case of emergencies. A standard operations crew of 12 and up to 25 other staff.

• The ship is designed to be able to be disembarked with a helicopter or skiff while it is on Autopilot. The AP system has a timer to allow disembarkation, as well as a toggle-able "Boat Launch Sensor" and "Helipad Landing Sensor" that allow for your return onto the ship assuming it has not reached its destination and stopped. These toggle-able buttons enable a laser, that if crossed with your helicopter or boat, will stop the ship, allowing you to board.
