The Last Armada class Scout is a warship.
- It is a military ship and a Scout.
Description (Specifications)
Designed and built for the Expedition, the Terran contingency plan in the event of military defeat against the Vilani Imperium. These vessels took part in the desperate exodus as part of the Last Armada following the Destruction of Terra in 2147AD.
Basic Ship Characteristics
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]
| No. | Category | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Tonnage | The Scout is constructed using a 200 Ton hull built in a generally Flattened Sphere configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving excellent atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems.
|
| 2. | Crew | 6 personnel.
Accommodations
Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
| 3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-5 drive, and a Power Plant-5, giving performance of Jump-2 and 5-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 5. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for two consecutive Jump-2s and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration.
|
| 4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/4 computer: no backup computer is installed.
|
| 5. | Hardpoints | 2 hardpoints.
|
| 6. | Armament | The normal weapons fit-out for a Scout is:
|
| 7. | Defenses | The hull is unarmored.
|
| 8. | Craft | The vessel carries no subcraft. |
| 9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 90 Tons.
Droptanks Examples of the class are fitted with Droptanks capable of supporting an additional jump-2. |
| 10. | Cost | The basic cost of the vessel is MCr182.344
|
| 11. | Construction Time | 48 weeks (11 months) as standard.
|
| 12. | Comments | The vessel does not have a cargo hold. |
History & Background (Dossier)
Scouts operating with the Last Armada would be dispatched to recon surrounding systems along the fleet's projected path of advance. They performed reconnaissance, searching for fuel sources and assessing potential threats. As a result they occasionally became unintentional first contact vessels. To this day, some Sophont species with their homeworlds lying to rimward of Terra have "UFO" stories that can in all probability be traced back to these vessels. Vessels of this type are known to have explored the Cauldron Nebula.
In rift areas Scouts were used to search for potential fuel sources such as orphan comets or icy-dusty nebular materials. These could be condensed and refined for use by the fleet.
