am I late to this one, I found it on SISI under Guristas battleships, in the Interbus viewer

Nestor Info:
"This was one of the first vessels the Sisters of EVE made available to capsuleers. It had been under development by the Sanctuary corporation, whose interest in exploration includes not only search & rescue operations but also a constant inquiry into the nature of the EVE Gate. Thanks to the Sisters' efforts and the Sanctuary's particular expertise, the Nestor is an agile, tenacious ship that aptly adheres to the mantra of both rescuers and explorers: Stay safe, stay hidden, and use every tool at your disposal.

It is particularly adept at venturing into dangerous territories, not merely in recovering whatever may be of interest but also in being able to safely bring it back. Its engines have alternate power sources that come into play should any of its cargo - for which it has plenty of room - cause serious interference with internal systems. Its weaponry runs best on renewable sources, an ideal for a ship that doesn't know how long it'll be in deep space. Its carapace is extremely well armored for a ship this agile, and covered in sensors capable of letting its crew track a myriad of different organic signatures. The crew itself is safely protected from any number of transmittable ailments from rescues and other unexpected passengers, thanks to special quarantine bays that are conveniently located near jettisonable openings.

And lastly, an ingenious but cryptic transfer in part of the warp core functionality to an outlying cylindrical structure means the Nestor is able to run certain higher-level cloaking functions with very little technical cost, and minimal interference from warp. The Sisters of EVE have refused to comment on this technology, other than to recommend it not be tampered with."

This thing recently (as in in the last 24 hours) has blown up (or at least come up) on every subforum I look at on EVE, and even on Reddit /EVE.

Most of the time someone's pretty quick to point out that those are the Rattlesnake stats, and that it's just a placeholder. It might someday be redone to be an SoE Battleship, but at least at the present it's a placeholder.

Nestor is the nickname for the robot "NS-2" from Isaac Asimov's "Little lost robot", you can find the story in I, Robot.

Nestor from Battle Beyond the Stars. "There is no dog in this."

The movie is a terrible mashup of Star Wars, The Dirty Dozen, and The Waltons. It's actually far more wretched than it sounds.
