BTL-A4 Starfighter
The “Longprobe” variant of the Y-wing is a scouting vessel. It replaces a gunner with additional supplies and fuel, a navicomputer, a backup hyperdrive, and a sensor enhancement package. This is hardly enough to turn it into a dedicated long-range scout, though it can do a better job at that task than a typical starfighter. One side effect of this alteration is that Longprobes are unusually well armed for a scout, making them more likely to get home to report their limited intelligence, and occasionally allowing the Longprobe pilot to blow up some valuable target uncovered during a scouting mission.
Even so, very few Longprobes were sent out on their own. Because of their high availability, such jury-rigged scouts were generally sent out in groups of six to twelve fighters, called recon teams. Although a single Longprobe wasn’t a particularly effective scout ship, a group of these fighters could scour a fairly large area of space in a reasonable time frame. Longprobe pilots actually took great pride in doing good jobs despite their second hand equipment.
