The SSV Stuttgart is a cruiser-class vessel in the Systems Alliance Navy. Originally called the SSV Dilicate, the Alliance named the ship after the sixth-largest city in Germany. The ship was commanded by Rami Polaris, who has since retired.
The SSV Stuttgart has stealth capabilities just like every other ship in the Alliance, but it is not really designed for stealth missions; it's meant for extreme battles inside enemy fleets, and its central core has an AI that can project a hologram from the ship to create a decoy. Using the ship mostly for reconnaisance missions for recon, the Alliance commissioned it to run reconnaisance missions in the Armstrong Cluster, in response to reports of geth activity garnered from the intel by Commander Shepard. The SSV Stuttgart is now under the command of Jule Kanrus and is now stationed with the 87th fleet and scouts the Mass Relay linking Citadel space and Earth.
