The [[Tathoe class Scout/Courier]] is a recon [[starship]].
* It is a [[paramilitary ship]] and a [[Vargr]] [[Scout/Courier]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
'''Vargr Courier (Type VX):''' Using a custom 200-[[ton]] [[hull]], the [[Vargr Courier]] is intended for transportation of messages and envoys rapidly over interstellar distances. It mounts [[Jump drive]]-C, [[Maneuver drive]]-C, and [[Power plant]]-C, giving performance of Jump-3 and 3G acceleration. [[Fuel tank]]age for 90.0 tons supports the [[power plant]] for four weeks plus one Jump-3. Adjacent to the [[bridge]] is a [[model/2]] [[bis]] [[computer]]. There are four [[stateroom]]s and no [[low berth]]s. The ship has two [[hardpoint]]s and two tons allocated to [[fire control]]. Installed on the [[hardpoint]]s are two single [[turret]]s: Each mounts one [[beam laser]]. There is one [[ship's vehicle]]: A [[ship's boat]]. [[Cargo]] capacity is 5.0 tons. The [[hull]] is streamlined. 

The [[Vargr Courier]] requires a crew of four: pilot, navigator, engineer, and medic. Double occupancy permits the addition of up to four others, such as gunners, emissaries, or other passengers. The ship is not intended for commercial passenger carriage. The Vargr courier costs MCr128.872 (including architect's fees, but not standard discount; prices may vary), and takes 12 months to build.
