The Chercheur class Fleet Dispatch Courier is a warship.

Description (Specifications)

This long range Jump-5, combat scout represents the only dedicated message delivery and scouting assets the Strend Navy has. As a result destroyers which are more numerous are pressed into roles which don't suit them. Coordination between squadrons is often poor as a result. When attacking the navy tends to mass and arrive together. This makes them predicatable and easier to avoid. This ship is armed but not well armored and its massive model/8 fib ship computer robs its agility.

History & Background (Dossier)

Built at the Strend (Trojan Reach 0505) ship yards. There were 8 exigent in fleet inventories at last report. It is a dedicated message delivery and scouting asset.
