The '''Lone Scout-A''' was a [[scout vessel]] which used technology similar to the [[TIE Series]] [[Starship/Legends|starships]], especially the [[TIE/sr starfighter]]. Produced by [[Republic Sienar Systems/Legends|Republic Sienar Systems]], it was later manufactured by [[Sienar Fleet Systems/Legends|Sienar Fleet Systems]] and its civilian subsidiary, [[Sienar Ships]]. The Lone Scout-A served as an exploration vessel for the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] and the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]], as well as civilian [[Scout/Legends|scouts]].

==Characteristics==
A civilian variant of the [[TIE/sr starfighter]],<ref name="RECG">''[[Rebellion Era Campaign Guide]]''</ref> the Scout-A was designed to be operated by a crew of one, but could carry three passengers,<ref name="RPG2" /> and carried enough [[Foodstuff/Legends|consumables]] for a full year of operation.<ref name="FOP" /> It had space to carry 150 [[Metric ton/Legends|metric tons]] of cargo in its 60 [[Cubic meter/Legends|cubic meter]] hold. It was equipped with a Class 2 [[Hyperdrive/Legends|hyperdrive]] with a Class 15 [[backup hyperdrive]], [[Deflector shield/Legends|shields]] and a single [[Laser cannon/Legends|laser cannon]] for defense.<ref name="RPG2" /> It featured a high-quality [[Sensor/Legends|sensor]] array<ref name="UA" /> although it had a lower sensitivity than the military TIE/sr.<ref name="TIE scout" />

It was one of the first ships to use the revolutionary [[TIE Series|Twin Ion Engine]] design, with a cockpit and sublight engines strongly foreshadowing later Sienar craft.<ref name="UA" /> Many of the basic technologies used were identical to those used in the TIE [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighter]] line. However, its large passenger and cargo compartment made it much larger than those later starfighter designs,<ref name="GG8">''[[Galaxy Guide 8: Scouts]]''</ref> stretching it out to a length of 24 [[Imperial standard meter|meters]].<ref name="RPG2" />

==Role==
The Lone Scout-A was intended for use in exploring the wild regions of the galaxy.<ref name="RPG2" />

==History==
Unlike the TIE series, the Lone Scout-A was made available to, and widely used by, the civilian market.<ref name="UA" /> It was also used by the [[Imperial Survey Corps/Legends|Imperial Survey Corps]], and later, the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]]<ref name="TIE scout" /> [[Bureau of Scouting and Exploration Services]].<ref name="GG8" />

Around [[7 ABY/Legends|7 ABY]], the [[Dark side of the Force/Legends|Dark Side]] magician [[Dhar Bullwin]] used a modified Lone Scout-A, the ''[[Logrus]]'', as his personal vessel. It was modified to have a [[Quad laser cannon/Legends|quad laser]] turret mounted about the cockpit and some external hull modifications. It was flat black in [[Color/Legends|color]] and had modified engines to increase speed and maneuverability. It also include an emergency [[Escape pod/Legends|escape pod]] mounted onto the vessel's ventral surface.<ref name="TP">{{WEGCite|book=Galaxy Guide 8: Scouts|story=The Prize: A Scout Adventure}}</ref>

Another variant, the [[Lone Scout A-2]], was also produced. It had an improved [[backup hyperdrive]] and a new deep scan [[Sensor/Legends|sensor]] array.<ref name="GG8" />
