Scorpion class system defense boat

The quick and efficient scorpion has a very high radiated power signature. Heat management can present a problem, especially when trying to hide in ambush. The redundant systems, replacement crew and heavy armor ensure that it can take heavy punishment from larger vessels and still deliver its deadly payload of missiles.
