Strengths:
Hollowed Out: The starship was constructed with the sole purpose of being able to hold an extraordinary amount of cargo.
Defensible: Due to the precious nature of its cargo, the vessel's shields and defense armament are more than capable of taking on pirates and raiders.

Weaknesses:
Quite Slow: Perhaps not terribly slow, the Haven-class is still slow compared to other ships of its size and would not be able to outrun them without jumping to hyperspace.
Offensively Unarmed: With no offense weaponry to speak of, the vessel must rely on its hangar complement in order to destroy tackle anything larger than a light freighter.

Description: The Haven-class is actually a unique vessel with no sisters and was designed to haul beasts, slaves, and livestock from world-to-world. It is quite unusual for the Primeval to require such a vessel, and other starships in their fleet could technically fulfill the same role; albeit crudely. Perhaps the most remarkable feature is its advanced life-support system capable of delicate climate control that can simulate an environment for each containment unit aboard the ship. In total, there are six containment units: An arctic unit, an aquatic unit, a temperate unit, a tropical unit, an arid unit, and a vacuum unit. The latter of which lacks life-support for lifeforms that live in environments without an atmosphere. Within these units are cages, cells, and other enclosed spaces designed to keep the creatures aboard from escaping or causing problems.

Because the starship houses so many animals, it requires a specialized crew to properly care for and maintain the cargo. Thus the vessel only requires a skeletal crew to operate its critical functions, but also means that it had to sacrifice weaponry in which to defend itself with. Despite this the Haven-class is still a fearsome vessel to look at and can handle itself just fine, since it's hollowed out to make room for the containment units, there was enough space left over for a full-sized hangar which holds three squadrons.
