Description: The ScentHound is one of the very few vehicle designs of Kuat Drive Yards, besides the infamous Juggernaut Assault vehicles. KDY intended to enter the niche of scouting vehicles with the ScentHound. They combined an assault vehicle with an exploration craft which resulted in this scouting truck. The truck is not only used by the Empire; it is also purchased by many scouting corporations and planetary governments in their scout forces, where it is often used as base of operations of the scouting missions.
The vehicle itself is quite large, having enough space for up to two metric tons of exploration equipment and two squads of Stormtrooper Scouts or other scouting personnel. The crew consists of 5 members; one pilot, co-pilot, and sensor operator, as well as two gunners who operate the two Double-Blaster Cannons, the vehicle's only weapons. Weapons are important, no doubt, but the vehicle's strength lies in its sensor system. Other than most vehicles, the ScentHound features a large sensor array, enabling the crew to search and spot for life forms, threats etc. at a long distance. The truck also features a small vehicle bay, which carries four speeder bikes for either enlarging the search fields or to support some flank cover, although the truck is very fast (but this also depends on the terrain). The vehicle bay also stores two M38 scouting droids, which can be send to areas, where sending troops would be too dangerous
