Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Jade Prospector class of prospecting ship is a variation on the Sidhe class scout. The major alterations made to the Jade Prospector class include an alteration to crew space, the installation of a larger cargo bay, and the installation of two light missile tubes for launching short range recon probes and claim markers, though light TAC missiles could also be launched from the tubes.
