Diamondback Scout

Role: Combat Explorer

The Diamondback Scout is Lakon Spaceway's specialist combat explorer vessel. Unlike its bigger brother the Asp, the Diamondback Scout isn't suited as an all rounder vessel. It is popular with elite recon and pathfinder units with navies throughout human space. Its relatively low cost also makes it a popular choice with independent pilots who appreciate its combat and exploration potential.
