It's primarily designed for [[Explorer|exploration]] to allow pilots to drive and jump across planetary surfaces. It's also useful for [[Miner|mining]] [[materials]]. The [[Planetary Vehicle Hangar]] module provides a hangar space on-board a ship to carry and repair an SRV. It's equipped with a [[Wave Scanner]] which is an unidirectional long-range forward facing scanner that detects a variety of vehicles and points of interest. ~~A 2 seater combat SRV called the~~ [[Scorpion]] was added with [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]] in 2021.

The most notable are [[Human]], [[Thargoid]] and [[Guardian]]. Additional species are yet to be discovered.

The [[Thargoids]] are an intelligent, highly advanced insectoid species that have existed for millions of years. They are highly territorial and seemingly rebuff all diplomatic overtures with unmitigated hostility, but are also known to be extremely slow to adapt.
