The Hesiod is a standard TL 14 type S scout/courier modified to jump four parsecs. The Hesiod class is built at our shipyards on Ariis/Ariis/Verge, Rhylanor/Rhylanor/Spinward Marches and Capitol/Core/Core (M0: Sylea). She is similar in design to the Scout/Courier's built by many corporations through out known space. With a crew of three, provisions for 2 passengers, 5 tons of cargo and an empty turret socket she is highly customizable and capable of many tasks.

The empty turret socket can either be equipped with a turret or a lifeboat. The turret usually contains multiple weapon systems, such as, a short range laser, two missile canisters and a small sandcaster. A standard 2.75 ton life boat can be installed in the turret socket, such as the LB12/C or LB12/L produced by SSC. If no lifeboat is installed then Imperial regulations require that the air raft be capable of serving in that capacity.

An extra workstation is installed. This can be used either as a gunnery workstation to operate the turret or as a medic/stewards workstation. Part of the on board storage area can be used to house an MFD and/or LIDAR for the weapons systems. There is plenty of surplus power to operate the weapons systems (over 53MW).

The Hesiod has fuel scoops and can purify a full load of unrefined fuel in about 16 hours. This makes the Hesiod ideal for use in situations where there are no sources for refined fuel.
