The Valtos Niagra class Scout/Courier is a TL–13 recon starship. It was originally an auxiliary warship: it is now more commonly seen as a commercial transport.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
It is a vessel with 1-G and J-4 performance with a unstreamlined Dispersed Structure Hull. The Valtos Niagra class Scout/Courier was intended as a low cost single ship. Built for long range scouting. They developed into first contact vehicles. Scouts and the diplomatic corps uses them. It is constructed as a long-range design.
It carries light armament and a moderate defensive suite. It has a crew of 1 .
Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

---|---|---|
No. | Category | Remarks |
1. | Tonnage | The Valtos Niagra class Scout/Courier class is constructed using a 110 dTon hull built in a unstreamlined dispersed structure configuration. The hull is not streamlined, and it is incapable of independent wilderness refueling without its subcraft.
|
2. | Crew | x1 personnel:
Accommodations
Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Cobalt Dynamics Jump 4 drive, a Magnum Flow Reactionless 1G drive, and a Power Plant-4, giving performance of Jump-4 and 1G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 1 and an emergency agility of 1. It is a long-range design: the internal fuel tankage is sufficient for a single jump 4, with drop tanks for an additional jump 4 and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration.
|
4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is an efficient Model/4 ship computer: no backup computer is installed. There are multiple holo-dynamically reconfigurable Workstations.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Sensors include the following. • Active IR (infrared radiation, thermal imaging) (Active Sensor) • Laser / Light Sensors (Passive Sensor) • LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) – also called LADAR (Laser Detection and Ranging) (Active Sensor) • Prismatic (anti-laser) aerosol (countermeasure) • Magnetic Sensor (Passive Sensor) • Neutrino Sensor (Passive Sensor) • Passive IR (infrared radiation, thermal imaging) (Passive Sensor) • RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) (Active Sensor) • All-weather RADAR (improved function in a variety of environmental conditions) (Active Sensor) • RADAR Direction Finder (Passive Sensor) • RADAR Jammer (Active ECM) • Radiation Sensor (Passive Sensor) • Radio Detector (Communications Equipment) (Passive Sensor) • Radio Direction Finder (Passive Sensor) • Radio Jammer (Active ECM) • UV Detector (ultraviolet radiation) (Passive Sensor) Gravitic Equipment • Densitometer (gravitic sensor) (Passive Sensor) Navigational Aids • Inertial Locator (navigational aid, data improvement)

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Designed and built for the Talokan Armed Forces as a recon and picket boat asset. They have large solar panels, a tiny hydroponics bay, an observation bubble with powerful telescopes, and a huge over stuffed lounge chair. For a certain type of psychological profile this duty is a dream come true. Others find the quiet isolation uncomfortable. A ship's computer interface hologram is always ready to offer suggestions and reminders to help their carbon based friends.
