Pathfinder
The Pathfinder is a British Royal Starfleet scout design that has been manufactured under license by Oceania, Canada, and the Ukraine.  It is smaller than the Horizon, and consequently lacks agility and significant armor protection and hull strength.  One advantage the Pathfinder has over the Horizon is its spin habitat to keep the crew healthy, something the larger scout lacks.  The Pathfinder is a reliable if cramped design that has seen it resold to civilian concerns on numerous occasions for exploration work, and its basic fusion torch drive is much cheaper to operate versus an antimatter-catalyzed torch as found on the Horizon, even if a larger fraction of the ship’s total mass must be set aside for propellant stores to keep its Delta-Vee competitive with its American counterpart.
