Minbari Federation Skannet Class Orbital Transport Skannet Class History These diminutive ships are common among both Federation and Protectorate worlds. The Skannet is used for quick orbital ascent of priority cargo. It can also be used as a long distance transport, but due to the lack of a jump engine, it is only partially successful. The Skiggum variant is the latest refit of the old ship. It has been suplanted by the Shaveen for border and distance patrols, but the Skiggum is still used near Minbari shipyards, orbital facilities and in the Protectorate. The closest equivalent ship among the other younger races is the Haven or Tethys patrol boats, though they are somewhat less maneuverable and advanced than the Skiggum.
