A Model/1 ship computer is mounted with scout sensors and enough fuel is carried for a single Jump-1. They are built inexpensively and deployed in vast numbers.

  • On demand, ortillery fire support is provided by the ship's triple missile racks. Addition battery rounds are often kept in the cargo bay.
  • It carries a single subcraft. The squad of 12 marines is lead by a junior officer trained in forward observation, who is assisted by a senior NCO. They are equipped with chameleon combat armor, grav flight harnesses and Gauss weapons. SOP is for the marines to jump from the Skiff once they enter a suitable atmosphere where they can soar for several kilometers and swoop in for stealthy insertions. They excel at covert commando raids, using their talons to shred sentries in near silence.
  • The carry a crew of two: pilot and weapons officer and 12 marines.
