Info: Venture is a small and fast scout, which is also used as a shuttle. Venture class was designed by Gigerdians and was later given to the Federation. Venture was designed before the Lightness war. Ventures are pretty much the main scout ships in the Starfleet, mostly because of their small size and excellent speed and maneuverability. Ventures were mostly used to scout Lightness territories. However many of those Ventures never came back. Ventures were also used in the GA-IPA conflict. Ventures are the primary scout ships, even that Seekers' usage has increased.

Info: Oberth isn't used as a scout much, not anymore at least. However in the Lightness war, many of these drone Oberths conducted lots of scout missions and proved to be extremely useful.

Info: Defiant is used sometimes as a scout ship, mostly because of its cloaking capability, small size, good speed and good armament compared to its size. Mostly it was used as a scout ship in the Dominion war and in the Lightness war, also a little in the GA-IPA conflict. Still Defiant is used as a scout ship quite rarely, because it has been more meant to be a battleship not a scout ship. Still it has proven to be good scout ship as well, in case those are needed.

Cloaker Class Scout Ship
Engines: Ten light impulse engines.
FTL drive: Jump drive MkI light version.

Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.

Info: Cloaker is pretty much the only ship in the Starfleet that has been specifically designed for only scouting purposes. It was designed after the Dominion war and was able to do its first scouting missions in the Lightness war. Where it proved to be good scout ship, still Ventures were a bit better and were able to continue as the primary scout ships. In time Cloakers have been started to use more and more, especially in the GA-IPA conflict where Cloakers were the main scout ships. Still Ventures hold the position as the mainly used scout ship. Cloaker has light armament, mostly so that it can defend itself against fighters or some other small ships.

Here's picture of Cloaker class scout ship.
