Pathfinder-class

The Pathfinder-class is a class of experimental scout corvettes of the Hyperion family operated by Trident Foundries.
== Description ==
Outwardly, a Pathfinder resembles a Hyperion-class in almost all aspects; the main differences lay in the removal of the energy missile tubes, the addition of two massive sublight thrusters where the old engine array used to be, as well as the addition of a salvager array on the chin of the vessel.
== History ==
=== 2317 ===
In early January, the original prototype of the class, TRV Pathfinder XV-2201, was presumed lost when a failure of its one-of-a-kind Antimatter drive propulsion system created a spatial anomaly into NaN Space and through to another galaxy with Jake Lancia and Plaz onboard.
Since the incident several more Pathfinders have been commissioned with standard propulsion systems and have proven themselves as extremely fast, long-ranged scouts.
In mid-July, Lancia decided to release updated variants of the Pathfinder (without Antimatter drive) to the civilian market.
== Usage ==
The Pathfinder-class has, in addition to its role as a fast scout, been used in the following roles:
* Fast attack
* Border patrol
