Comments: The Chatl class Leader Scout was adopted by the Zhodani Navy from the basic design of their 150 ton courier. It's main purpose is to rapidly transfer admirals and orders to where they are needed most. It performs well in that role, but concerns for it's passengers' safety is still a major consideration. Few have been built. Bein vulnerable to attack by even small ships, its survival depends on avoiding rather than defeating the enemy. An armored hull and sandcaster provide at be moderate protection against ships likely to be encountered in a war situation.
It has modest, though comfortable, staterooms for one admiral and two of his attendants. Admirals are willing to travel in these ships to transfer commands and relay orders, but time on board is kept to a minimum. Even with flaws, the leader scout is an invaluable aid to the successful completion of major fleet strategy.
