The third "Pathlayer" class ship constucted by the Goo Alien Military government.
It's two toridals were constructed specifically for what would be misnamed the Hummas mission - had Humans been deemed an acceptable risk for contact, they would have been detached to form part of an Ambassadorial space station.
At it's center is a Short Jump Drive; "Short" meaning it's can't reach a faster-than-light speed that won't degrade to sub light speed. An optimal jump is about 2.5 light years, or about 3/4 a parsec, according to human reckoning.
Besides carrying the Goo Aliens where they're going, The oxygen gardens host a few other species from their home planets - a small ecosystem to maintain balance. A occasional meat, when the populations get too big. One is a tunneling worm, who misses mycelial root structure with asteroid dust (read: makes the chaff into dirt), A mobile lichen that's should be attaching larger rocks for minerals but ends up getting into the ventwork as well, and a larger predator species of both.
The ship also has two five-person support craft and a dozen 1.5 person support craft.
