Surveyor-class reconnaissance frigate

The Surveyor-class reconnaissance frigate is an Imperial scout craft manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards for the Imperial Navy. It is based on the Active-class fast attack frigate with a hull that resembles that of the Vindicator-class heavy cruisers while the bridge and rimary sensor arrays are in a structure resembling the bridge of a Bellator-class dreadnought.

The vessel carries both a full squadron of starfighters and a decent armament for a craft its size but its primary mission remains reconnaissance. To support these efforts the class is equipped with powerful sensors and signal interception systems along with a stealth system that aids in concealing the frigate's location even while active scanners are in use.

These vessels are most commonly deployed in Imperial Navy formations that are based in The Core and Mid Rim regions of the galaxy.
