Scout/Courier (type S): Using a 100-ton hull, the scout/courier is intended for exploration, survey, and courier duties, with many in service throughout known space. [1]
- The Type S Scout/Courier is a 100-ton dispatch vessel of a type very common within human space. [2]

Description (Specifications)
It mounts jump drive-A, maneuver drive-A, and power plant-A, giving performance of jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. A 40-ton fuel tank provides fuel for the power plant and provides sufficient fuel for one jump-2. Adjacent to its bridge is a computer Model/1bis. There are four staterooms and no low berths. One double turret with its fire control is installed on the ship's hardpoint, but no weaponry is mounted. One air/raft is carried in a specially fitted hangar within the ship. Cargo capacity amounts to 3 tons. The hull is streamlined. The scout/courier requires a crew of one, assuming the duties of pilot and engineer. The ship costs MCr 29.43 and typically takes nine months to build. [4]
Basic Ship Characteristics
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 craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [5]

History & Background (Dossier)
The Type S is one of the smallest ships to mount a jump drive and is used in nearly every capacity imaginable from civilian, to paramilitary to military uses. They are relatively easy to find used and the basic hull is near endlessly modifiable.
IISS Reserve Scout Ship Policy
It is the policy of the scout service to make available such surplus scout ships to selected individuals on a reserve basis. The vessels are (hopefully) put to good use while they are not required in service, and both the ship and its pilot are available for recall to duty when needed. Possession of the scout ship is at the pleasure of the scout service, and it cannot be sold by the character. Fuel is free at scout bases. Maintenance is free at the scout bases at class B starports. The traveller is responsible for both upkeep and crew costs. [16]
