The Telemon class Survey Scout is an exploratory starship.

• It is a paramilitary ship and a Survey Scout.

Description (Specifications)

It is a bihulled vessel, having been intentionally constructed from two smaller vessel hulls that have been attached to each other.

• Many consider the design widely comparable to the Donosev class Survey Scout.

History & Background (Dossier)

A somewhat unusual acquisition made in 1082, the 400 ton Survey Scout was purchased as a barely salvageable wreck from the Scout Service and extensively rebuilt to the standard Telemon specification. The ship now operates as a high Jump ship capable of independent search and salvage operations in the Jewell and Querion subsectors, where distances between systems are much greater than the Regina Subsector. The Telemon class Survey Scout is an old design that is still produced in some numbers across the Imperium, but has been replaced by the newer Donosev class survey scout. The design is noted for its powerful sensors, which aid in detection of salvageable materials.

The port cylinder houses the bridge, computer system, avionics, staterooms and the port maneuver drive. A passageway links the port cylinder with the starboard cylinder, which houses the primary powerplant, port maneuver drive, Jump drive, Cutter module bay, a small 7 dton cargo bay and the observation lounge. The Cutter bay normally houses an additional utility or salvage module, while a fuel module is attached to the Cutter. The observation lounge has a huge bubble window and doubles as a relaxation lounge, but its primary function is as a sensor suite, with three sensor workstations controlling the extensive sensor arrays.

B Deck, which is “below” the A deck, consists entirely of fuel, except for the starboard 40 ton cargo bay, which is accessed from A Deck’s lift. Loading and unloading is undertaken via an extendable iris airlock, allowing ship-to-ship transfer of cargo. Transferring the Cutter module to the Cutter is a simple process. The Cutter module bay doors are opened, and small thrusters “push” the module clear of the Survey Scout. The Cutter then maneuvers to pick up the module. A similar process is undertaken when stowing the module.

Standard crew for the Jeramiah consists of 8: a salvage captain, two pilots, navigator, medic, cutter pilot and two engineers. Additional “salvage experts” are added as necessary.
