History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Named for the first patron of Vilani medicine, the Kurgutash and her sister-ships(Paean, Hippocrates, Aesculapius, Juujed, etc.) are part of an important program sponsored by the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service, the Medical Liaison Section of the Contact and Liaison Branch of the exploration office. According to the order which established this section in 708, the Medical Liaison Section is charged with the duty of promoting "the spread of medical knowledge, the support of local medical authorities, and the treatment of the sick throughout Imperial and extra-lmperial space."
The medical scout represents one part of this program. In times of peace, the ship serves as a liaison vessel, visiting backwater worlds, delivering samples of new serums, instructions on new surgical techniques, etc. They also do duty as locally-based ambulance ships, available to respond in an emergency to the site of a shipwreck or other disaster. In wartime, medical scouts are mobilized and attached to battle fleets and serve as rescue vessels in combat.
