Lone Scout-A

The Lone Scout-A was a scout vessel which used technology similar to the TIE Series starships, especially the TIE/sr starfighter. Produced by Republic Sienar Systems, it was later manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems and its civilian subsidiary Sienar Ships. The Lone Scout-A served as an exploration vessel for the Galactic Empire and the New Republic, as well as civilian scouts.

Characteristics
A civilian variant of the TIE/sr starfighter,[4] the Scout-A was designed to be operated by a crew of one, but could carry three passengers, and carried enough consumables for a full year of operation. It had space to carry 150 metric tons of cargo in its 60 cubic meter hold.[1] It was equipped with a Class 3 hyperdrive[2] (with a Class 15 backup hyperdrive),[1] shields and a single laser cannon for defense,[1][3] a high-quality[source?] sensor array with a lower sensitivity than the military TIE/sr.

Variant
A variant, the Lone Scout A-2, or LSA-2, was used by the Imperial Navy,[source?] the Imperial Scout Corps, and later the New Republic Scout Service.[3] It had an improved deep scan sensor array and a more capable backup hyperdrive (Class 12, instead of the Lone Scout-A's Class 15 backup drive), at the cost of 25 tons and 10 cubic meters of cargo space.
