Comet-class Scout

Comet-classes are a type of Human starship built by Galileo Stardrive used in the Terran Commonwealth Alliance in the 31st Century and are used almost exclusively for scouting and long-range reconnaissance missions. The Comet is one of the TCA's fastest and invaluable assets in galactic warfare.

They were designed from a series of older models and were first commissioned to in operation in the mid 2990's. It's small size and fast engines make it very versatile and is one of the smaller ships capable of making planetary landings quite easily. It's shape and aerodynamic "rollcage" structure enable it to be just as effective in atmospheres. It is nevertheless not to be underestimated and has a powerful array of weapons, although mainly for defence, where need be Comets have gone on the attack, made devastating strikes and left very quickly.

It's only drawback is these weapons systems are often packed close together and are prone to overheating. Comets are well-known for their poor shielding systems, but many captains put trust into the ship's remarkable speed and maneuverability over any other system the ship has to offer.
