Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Unknown Regions
Used extensively by the Republic Astrogation Survey Team just prior to The Jedi Civil War, the Vaya-Class Scout Ship is an excellent exploratory vessel. Although not configured for prolonged combat engagements, the ship is able to safely take Republic explorers and scientists into the uncharted regions and bring them back. The ship is also popular with independent explorers because of its low price as well as its spacious interior, which enables explorers to bring their families along on journeys that are not particularly dangerous.
Some purchase the ships to be used as traveling homes as they go about the course of their business. Although Republic officials claim that the Vaya-Class has a 3 percent failure rate, the design has one striking flaw. During the strenuous and complicated maneuvers of combat, the port ion engines have a tendency to shut down, causing the vessel to go into a dangerous spin. Any time this ship moves down the Condition Track as a result of taking damage from an attack, the Pilot must make a Pilot check (DC 20) or the ship cannot move until the end of the Pilot's next turn.
