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: 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.

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.
