The Saryabo IV Pinnace Scoutcraft was developed near the end of the Clone Wars as a way to transport elite troops to and from key target areas. At the time of the Galactic Civil War only a dozen of these ships were still in existence. To achieve its main objective, the ship was fitted with a top-notch hyperdrive system and nav computer. It was also given minor offensive and defensive components to ensure that the troops reached their destination alive.
