Scout/Courier S-AA22 Serpent MCr60.5
Using a 100t airframe hull, the Serpent meets all normal specifications for the Scout/Courier. It is equipped with the Magash Systems A12-2w jump drive, the Yard 7 mA/2 maneuver drive, and the Zahinyo 2.2A/i power plant, giving performance of Jump-2 and 2G acceleration. Fuel tanks support 4 weeks' operation and one jump-2. Cargo capacity amounts to 5 tons.
On the bridge is a computer Model/3, and a generous sensor suite. There are four staterooms. One hybrid LMS turret with its fire control is installed on the ship's hardpoint. One air/raft is carried in a specially fitted hull niche within the ship. The hull features variable-sweep airfoils for atmospheric maneuvering and landings.
The scout/courier requires a crew of one, assuming the duties of pilot, astrogator, and engineer.
Typically placed with scouts of exemplary service, Serpent-class ships are capable of being highly modified. The vee tail and variable sweep wing, coupled with hovering and VTOL capabilities, make the Serpent class ships highly sought after.
Crew comfort: +1
