Description - The Agave-class picket ship was a tactical/operational reconnaissance ship produced under the New Republic's New Class Modernization Program. Task force commanders sent these ships ahead of the main battlegroup to either scout quietly, or in force. Agave-class pickets were equipped with Class 1 hyperdrives, powerful sensors, a good stealth package, and shotgun hypertransceivers which allowed them to report information back to the battlegroup with a minimal risk of detection. Some also apparently have interdiction field generators working to jump ahead of escaping eneamy vessels and capture them as the attempt escape from an engagement zone.
