DESCRIPTION
The Sienar Lone Scout series of starships are a venerable model of starship at this point in galactic history. The first production of the Sienar Lone Scout dates to the beginning of the Galactic Empire. It is a civilian version of the militarized Tie s/r scout craft, outfitted with more range and amenities than a military craft requires. This model ship has been frequently used to chart hyperspace lanes, survey systems, and scout territory. The Lone Scout is a capable but not particularly remarkable craft.'Whiskers' is an improved A2 model Lone Scout owned by Crasdon Kaine. The A2 model has better sensors and an improved hyperspace drive system.
Two jump-speeders occupy the ship's small cargo hold, along with EVA suits, com units, and sample storage equipment. This allows surveyors to patrol the area near a landing site, taking quick scans and samples for further review by qualified laboratories.
The ship's cramped confines contain only a cockpit, small dining area, shared sleeping space with two bunk beds, and cargo space. A very cramped refresher with toilet-and-sink-in-shower is adjacent to the sleeping area. The dining area can double as a gaming room, with tables able to project holographic game pieces.
A holocom communications suite assures that the ship can maintain contact with a parent corporation or base even across many light-years.
The deep scanners aboard allow the ship to navigate in uncharted space, collecting the data needed to map new hyperspace routes and document the characteristics of interstellar hazards, including planets and stars.
'Whiskers' has been up-armed somewhat with two servo turrets due to the dangers of operating on the fringes of 'civilized' space and the likelihood of encountering piracy or unfriendly aliens. The turreted systems can only be operated if one or more gunners are in the cockpit, operating appropriate gunnery consoles. The fixed systems can be operated by the pilot.
LEGALITY
The Lone Scout is a fully legal civilian version of the Tie Scout s/r and has no illegal modifications. That having been said, it has been up-armed somewhat and that may cause it to be looked at twice by security forces, making the craft more prone to being scanned or boarded for inspection.INTENT
Most vessels are not equipped for the dangerous task of mapping new hyperspace routes and charting undiscovered systems in unknown or wild space. Of those that are, most are quite a bit larger than this ship.'Whiskers' provides an opportunity to perform small-crew exploration missions, while also having enough capability to perform 'adventurous' tasks as the plot evolves. It also presents an excuse to have daring hyperspace escapes for plucky heroes, because the crew of the ship has access to knowledge about mysterious spots which may be known to them but otherwise uncharted and unsafe for official government starships.
The technology used on the ship is all canonical and well-established in both Legends and Canon sources.
RESTRICTIONS
The Lone Scout-A2 is an unrestricted vessel which has seen use within the Empire, Republic, Corporate, and Independent space.
