The Alina Class is an aging design that is being phased out due to obsolescence. It was intended to perform scouting duties for the Fleet using a, for the time, highly advanced sensor package mounted in an agile platform. It never wholly supplanted the baseline scout in service however. Several decades ago the Fleet decided not to develop a direct replacement for the Class, but rather let the concept lapse.
By anyone’s standards the Alina Class verges on being cramped, even though extra space is allocated for two sensor/electronic warfare operators, over and above the quarters provided for the crew. Despite this, sales of surplus examples to the public at auction are usually brisk, as they remain highly valued for their speed.
The Alina Class is most commonly encountered in the Marches although it can also be found at times operating in Civilized space as well.
