The Type S Scout is the mainstay of the Republic Reconnaisance Office (RRO), and the Imperial Scout service that preceeded it.  Countless Type-S and variant scouts are in use within the borders of the former Imperium, and neighboring states such as the Vargr Extents, Minjini Imperiate, and Solomani Rim.    The vehicles hold often is fitted to carry an air raft or similar grav vehicle in addition to atmospheric landing.  Integrated fuel refining as part of the fusion reactor core allow refueling from unrefined fuel, including gas giant and ocean refueling.  The older type S life support systems are notorious for filter failures mid flight leading to obnoxious odors accumulating onboard.

The 100 Ton Scout and variants are in wide use by traders, corporations, and military services, particularly the RRO within the Federation.  Most Scout Way Stations and Bases will be fully equipped to service these vehicles, as will class A and B starports.  Common variations to the vehicle include the type J Seeker (mining), X-boat conversion, and removal of staterooms and common area to yield an additional 2-5 tons of cargo space.  Weapon and power system mods are widespread and too numerous to list here.
