The Sering class Scout is a flattened, 100-ton Scout/Courier, well known in Charted Space.

Description

Using a 100-ton, TL–12 hull, the MC&S Sering class Scout/Courier mounts A-series drives, giving a performance of jump-2 and 2G acceleration. It differs from Suleiman and Murphy class Scout/Couriers in being flatter and longer (26m long, 18m wide, and 4.5m tall), and having only one deck.

Fuel tankage supports a 2 parsec jump, at 10t per parsec, and two months of powerplant operations. Attached to the bridge is a Computer Model/1. There are 4 staterooms and no low berths. An empty double turret is installed. Cargo capacity is 3 tons. The hull is streamlined, with scoops for frontier refueling.

The ship carries an enclosed Air/Raft.
