The ''[[ma:Rigel_class|Rigel]]''-class vessel and proposed ''Orion''-class ship (part of the Long Range Survey Directive implemented in 2369, but delayed by the War) are both designated Heavy Scouts. "Heavy" in this case connotes a larger body, and thus the capacity to stay in the field for longer periods, more than it does heavier armament (though in fact those ships do have greater tactical capabilities than other Scouts). | The ''[[ma:Rigel_class|Rigel]]''-class vessel and proposed ''Orion''-class ship (part of the Long Range Survey Directive implemented in 2369, but delayed by the War) are both designated Heavy Scouts.
