History
Technical Data
The Scorpion-class vessel is the sister ship to the Aquarius-class Scout. The exterior designs utilize the same hul configuration, however the Scorpion has several internal differences to accommodate its intended combat role. Specifically, the multi-phasic sensor system has been removed, and the cargo bay has been completely repurposed. These changes make room for additional weaponry and the ablative armor generators.
