This old scout ship has seen more hyperspace jumps then can be easily counted.
Originally issued new to the Republic Explorer Corps, it still bears the 
red and white paint scheme of a Republic diplomatic vessel--although years of neglect
have left the markings barely discernable. The vessel is in poor repair, and it is
only a matter of time before she ceases functioning completely.    

It was one of the first ships to use the revolutionary Twin Ion Engine design, 
with a cockpit and sublight engines strongly foreshadowing later Sienar craft. 
However, its large passenger and cargo compartment made it much larger than those 
later starfighter designs, stretching it out to a length of 24 meters. Also, unlike 
those later craft, the Lone Scout-A was made available to the civilian market. The design
was used heavily by the Republic Explorer Corps before the fall of the Republic and 
was later used by the Empire until the development of the Lambda Mu-class scout ship.
