Refer to: Streel Scout Carrier & S-series Fighter Craft.

The Scout Carrier represents one of Streel Corporation's efforts at reverse engineering a salvaged & demilitarized UPF Frigate.


The S-series fighter craft have been the staple of Streel's military campaign for decades. Cheap and readily available, Streel has no qualms about who can acquire a contract for the craft.

I need to whip some up...all I have for most of my craft are top view shots.

I have the original two view (top & side) graph paper scans somewhere.

Pretty much LOL One side is motorcycle parts and the other side is miscellaneous stuff.


At least I know which side to begin the search...

Thanks, these are on the cheap and easy end of the spectrum (a.k.a. "disposable"). In my campaign, Streel preys on that principle to overtake PGC. If it works in today's society...

Anyone that's seen a glimpse of my campaign (the Dominion game), I went overboard exploring the possibilities of a dark future in the Frontier where an authoritative dictatorship takes over, disolves the Council of Worlds, allows capitalism to continue albeit under strict regulations, and Streel slowly moves into the number one slot.

It's sort of a Star Wars-ish sub-plot (mirroring Palpatine's rise to power), and the S-series is my "mirror" of the Twin Ion Engine craft. Sort of plagarism of the basics without actually plagarizing the actual stories and items...

{EDIT} I just uploaded my timeline into my house rules section. Full description of how it all falls apart, all within a time frame that players can adventure through (although they'd be pretty old by the time it all happens):

Profile shots have been added, along with the basic trainer version of the craft as well.

very sweet Shadow.
why does a fighter need Astrogation level 1?
is this to fly around within a star system? I thought
Astrogation was used to travel between systems.

Oops, those were typos. Should be astrogation LVL:2

System ships need equipment to navigate as well, less than a starship but more than an orbital shuttle. One thing about space, there's a lot of it and it's easy to get lost in it.

Possibly, I've been looking through all my stuff trying to decide what to drop onto the party.

I should import those scouts into this section...BRB

{EDIT} They're here now: Variant Assault Scouts
