Ferret-class reconnaissance vessel

Ferret-class

The Ferret-class reconnaissance vessel, commonly known as ferrets was an intelligence gathering vessel created by

Created in tandem with the New Class warships, the ferret was an automated version of the larger, crewed Prowler-class reconnaissance vessel.

Every element of the ferrets design contributes to its ability to covertly enter hostile territory, collect intelligence and remain undetected during departure. Its 28 meter long hull was coated in materials that negated most sensors while a unique baffled drive system provided it the ability to move at sublight speeds while leaving no trail. In addition to the baffling, the ferret's primary sublight drive ran on chemical thrust, avoiding detectable ion emissions.

While shieldless, the ferret was armed with a pair of concussion missile launchers. If a ferret's defenses were overwhelmed, its droid brains were set to purge the onboard computers and trigger a Baradium charge to detonate its missile cache to destroy the vessel.
