The Dart scoutship is a unique Ancient artifact, estimated to be build at TL–25.

Description[edit]

The Dart looks like an ovoid of silver metal when at rest; it reconfigures itself into a sharp-nosed dart when in flight. It appears to be the Ancient equivalent of a scoutship. It has a jump drive, but it appears to draw both power and hydrogen fuel from an onboard supply teleportal, so most of the ship’s hundred-ton mass is taken up with cargo space, staterooms and sensors. The ship is operated primarily using a psionic interface; it bonds with its primary pilot and responds to his thoughts while he is aboard.
