<p>
The Hyalearl is a Scout/Courier assigned to the Security Branch of the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service. She is armed with two 500mm missile racks and one 250-MJ laser in the dorsal turret. The starboard cargo bay holds the usual air/raft hangar, but the port bay has been modified with a drop capsule system, low berths and a small surgery. The Scout/Courier is no real special ops craft, but she can jump into tight spots and get out again ...
  </p>
<p>
The ship has heavy compartmentalization. A typical crew consists of a captain/pilot, an astrogator, an engineer and five security troops. The listed payload includes an air/raft, 16 drop capsules, 18 missiles, two EW drones and 40 stons of general cargo.
