These bullet-shaped research ships operated by the grays provide support for collection saucers and often serve as hidden orbital research labs. Once a collection saucer has acquired specimens, the subjects are transferred to a research vessel for intensive—and usually very invasive—medical studies and experiments. In battle against other starships, research vessels use their stasis beams to give collection saucers and watcher pods a chance to reach a nearby gray mothership. When necessary, research vessels also escort motherships, stubbornly refusing to disengage from combat until the mothership has successfully retreated to a safe distance.
