The Pallad class Asteroid Scout is a TL–15 armed Asteroid Scout serving with the 112th Fleet.

Description

This buffered asteroid has thick natural armor, which shields it from background radiation. Manufactured at TL–15 in small numbers, this vessel is designed to blend in and hide. Its Model/5 ship computer features several ECM and evasion programs. It is capable of Jump-3 and has 2 Gs acceleration, but no agility. It is unstreamlined and can't scoop its own fuel, but has its own on board fuel purification system. It carries two masked turrets; a triple beam laser turret and a triple missile turret, for self defense.

It has a crew of 5.

History & Background
