The Ferret-class Reconnaissance Vessel is an automated, pilotless version of the larger, crewed Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel.
Every element of the Ferret's design contributes to its ability to covertly enter hostile territory, collect intelligence, and remain virtually undetected during departure. Its 28 meter-long hull is coated in materials that negate most sensors while a unique baffled drive system provides it the ability to move at sublight speeds while leaving minimal trail. In addition to the baffling, the Ferret's primary sublight drive runs on chemical thrust, avoiding detectable ion emissions.
While shieldless, the ferret is armed with a pair of concussion missile dispensers. If a Ferret's defenses are overwhelmed, its droid brains are set to purge the onboard computers and trigger a baradium charge to detonate its missile cache, destroying the vessel.
A small quantity have been refitted as couriers to rapidly shuttle one or two occupants, or important material, to desired destinations. The automatons perform all the necessary piloting, and linger over the destination, usually just long enough to relay telemetry or messages to another communications post.
