Job
There are one to two scouts in every full DDF Flight[1], tasked with patrolling the skies, even during battles, and reporting incoming Krell forces. They look for low-riding Krell by their dust trails, Krell hiding behind hills, and how to tell whether or not something off in the distance is a Krell ship or an optical illusion. If they see an incoming force of Krell, scouts are also tasked with holding them back to buy time for the other Flights to get off the ground and provide backup. Scouts are sometimes viewed as cowards, but they understand that their job is essential to the survival of the DDF and humanity, because without them, the Krell would catch the DDF off guard and unready.
Equipment
Scouts are given Val-class ships, with its 138 Stewart destructor swapped out for a 131. Its sensor systems are better than the average ship, longer-ranged, and contain more detail.
Known Scouts
Blaze oversaw Skyward Flight's Scout exposure training.
Remark, a member of one of the other Flight School Flights, claims he has already received an offer from a full DDF Flight to be a Scout, while eating with the other cadets.[2]
