The Recon Scout Pod is a standard battle pod with ALL its weapon systems replaced with sensors and communication systems. The Scout is often deployed to investigate unknown regions, and to relay reliable data to the other units and scout ships. Their duty is to act as the "eyes" and "ears" for the combat troops. They are usually accompanied by two Tactical Battle Pods for support.
