The Scout Drone is a class of unmanned autonomous drone widely used by Hopesail Confederacy, Masqued Guildas, and Pyrate Republic for surveillance and scouting. It has limited range and weaponry, and is rarely used for kamikaze or sacrificial payload purposes unless a substantial overall resource gain can be secured. Scout Drones are piloted remotely by Cyerebrosynth Solution-enhanced tech officers wearing a Unity Helmet, using datapad-based controls, and assisted by a Telemetric Daemon Data. The scout drone is extremely fast but has a limited range of around 50 kilometres. It is primarily utilised for securing Free Trade Zones, mapping hyves, detecting bligher sites, or supporting deep strike teams.
