Predator Scout Ship

The Scout Ship is a short range Predator Spacecraft which is usually connected to a Predator Frigate. Scout Ships have three external thrusters and a large blade on the belly of the vessel. The hull of the Scout Ship was not very strong against Predator technology, with a single hit from a Predator Plasma Cannon being able to created a fairly large hole in the side of the ship. Scout Ships usually had a fairly large Trophy Room used for displaying any Trophies obtained on Hunts. Scout Ships also possessed holographic technology capable of displaying holograms of nearby planets likely to be used as a site for a Hunt. Scout Ships also contains a storage room for captive Facehuggers Aliens. Predators Scout Ships were used to drop off Predators hunters in close proximity of a planet.
== Trivia==
*In AVP: Evolution a Predator Frigate (clearly depicted in the loading screen to Predator Mission 2 - Predator Ship and also possessing a Trophy Room heavily based on the one seen in Predator 2) is incorrectly referred to as a Scout Ship.
*Why Scout Ships detach from a Predator Frigate and then deploy a Predator to a planet instead of the Predator Frigate itself just going to the planet and deploying the pod (which they have been seen using) is unclear, although it could be that the Predator Frigate deploys numerous Predator to Hunt at the same time, making it faster to send them in separate ships.
*The scene from the beginning of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem showing a Facehugger Alien in a tube aboard the Predator Scout Ship lunging at the camera is an obvious reference to the similar scene in Aliens where a Facehugger in a tube lunges at Burke in an identical manner.
