This vessel is designed for light survey, and most of the roles of the
scout courier. The dual turrets are often configured for special roles. It is
not uncommon for a cargo capsule to replace 1 of the turrets. Both turrets are
standard 3 ton sockets. Due to the extreme amount of surplus power, and the fact
that the turrets are each rated for up to 100MW apiece, the vessel can pump
laser turrets up quite a ways.
Note that this class is hull and structurally rated for 4 G's, but can
only generate 2 G's of thrust. This is not a typo, error, or oversight, but is
very much intentional. The overage is intended for atmospheric manuvering
couretesy of the airframe design.

The Tornado is a 4 person air/raft for scout use. It is equipped with many
of the same sensors as the S-2A Serpent it's assigned to, it can be used for
limited space observation, and both low speed indefinite surface ops or short
bursts of hypersonic travel. The accomodations are uncomfortable, but allow for
a good collection of samples. Due to the need for limited signature and minimum
environmental hazard, most surface or low altitude operations are done on the
ducted fans.
This vehicle is not suitable for use in insidious or corrosive atmospheres
due to the ducted fan systems, although the design is suitable for emergency use
in such conditions.

The VGU-23A is a TL-15 design which replaces the PP and Computer, and
Terrain Following Avionics with uprated designs. It gets slightly different
performance, and has no power shortage.
This vehicle is not suitable for use in insidious or corrosive atmospheres
due to the ducted fan systems, although the design is suitable for
emergency use
in such conditions.
