Essential to the Zentraedi Warmachine is the use of scouts to both seek out
the enemy and to not become caught off guard by enemy forces. The Tou Redir Scout Frigate
accomplishes this task well, but even it is not built in sufficient numbers for the Fleets need.
To supplement the Tou Redir, the Quel Quallie Theatre Scout was introduced. Easily deployed by all
manner of Zentraedi ships, the Theatre Scout provides a greater measure of reconnaissance than
previously available. They can either work in conjunction with the Tou Redir, or act on their own.
Despite their relatively low sensor rating, their smaller size allows them to enter enemy areas
of activity undetected. They are also fully atmospheric capable, and can use their four stilt-like
legs to traverse planetary surfaces below the level of enemy scanners. The scout is relatively
well defended, with two dual mount particle beam turrets as well as an assortment of anti-fighter and
anti-ship missiles.
