The Elbing class Scout is built for the Langemarck Royal Scout Service, a part of the military forces of the Langemarck Coalition in Vanguard Reaches Sector. The hull is sleek streamlined cone with a shape that is influenced by Aslan designs. The vessel has large internal fuel tanks to support multiple jump-1s and is fast and relatively agile. It has the capacity to skim and refine its own fuel for frontier operations. The ship is equipped with an efficient Model/4 fib ship computer and is fitted with extensive electronic systems. The two linked triple missile turrets give the Elbing a hard punch for its size.

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 subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

Basic Ship Characteristics
No.	Category	Remarks
1.	Tonnage / Hull	The Elbing class is constructed using a 200 Ton hull built in a generally Conical configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving good atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems. There are 2 airlocks. The cargo hold is accessed by a door and has a loading ramp. The vessel has a sturdy retractable undercarriage, allowing surface landings.
2.	Crew	6 personnel. x1 command/pilot, x3 engineers, x1 medic/science officer, x1 gunner/sensor operator. Accommodations There are 3 Staterooms. All quarters are double occupancy. Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the hull can be sealed off. There are multiple emergency lockers.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Jump-1 drive, a Maneuver-6 drive, and a Power Plant-6, giving performance of Jump-1 and 6-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 5 and an emergency agility of 6. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for three consecutive Jump-1s and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration. The engineering section has a main control room. Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery. The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid. The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4.	Electronics	Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/4fib computer: no backup computer is installed. There are multiple workstations and control points throughout the vessel. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a standard sensor array, and has an avionics suite. It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems.

9.	Fuel Treatment	The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 72 Tons. The hull is fitted with fuel scoops. The vessel is equipped with a fuel purification plant that can refine all onboard fuel in a few hours: the plant is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.
10.	Cost	The basic cost of the vessel is MCr215.236 Architects Fee: MCr2.152
11.	Construction Time	48 weeks (11 months) as standard. Build times can be reduced by mass production and the efficiencies such processes generate, by increased financing, and by allotting additional yard resources and facilities to the construction contract.
12.	Comments	Standard cargo capacity amounts to 4 Tons. The cargo hold can be sealed and has independent life support and environmental systems.
