CIGO Prowlers

Description

The Carnaithian Intelligence-Gathering Office is the most powerful government-operated, non-economic intelligence organization in the Local Group. As a military service, they of course have their own armed groups. Operants conduct assaults, reconnaissance, infiltration, spying, and sabotage, be it individually or in cells. To get to their objectives, however, they must have voidcraft. The Imperial Navy's ships are unsuitable for this; the majority of their craft are not stealthy, do not have long operating times, necessitate large crews, or are incapable of breaching atmospheres - The Tarantula-Typ corvette, while possessing this final capability, is far too large for CIGOs covert needs. To reach their goals, the Office developed their own line of prowlers, each class of such having its own specialties. 

The 224m Prowler is designed with the insertion of Operants on hostile worlds or behind continental frontlines in mind. Large for an aircraft or even an orbital shuttle, its size also permits it the option of landing standard military forces as well as orbital loitering. 

494m ships are focused on remote monitoring. Unmanned, these craft are faster and more expendable than its sisters. More than half of a 494m's mass is taken up by the engine assemblies, lending it great acceleration as well as the ability to squeeze out of a pinch when needed - not that it is supposed to be found in such situations. 

The manned 984m ship is used for much of the same role as the 494m; remote monitoring of hostile systems. However, it also carries two CIGO-operated exo-atmospheric shuttles for insertion capabilities, as well as a payload of twelve nuclear cold-launch torpedoes for sabotaging shipyards, stations, or ships.

Yeah yeah, small ships. Take a look at the scale; Gee Willikers, I wonder how big I'm going to draw ships? I'm redoing my fleet - again - this time from smallest to largest.
