==Description==
Developed by preeminent robotics manufacturer [[Ulsop Robotics]], supervising technician [[Jamison Cameron]] the '''''Bright Star Automated Scout''''' was intended to fully automate the task of exploring and charting distant star systems, a task which had cost the lives of many crew during the [[Star League]] era alone. It was theorized that a machine could complete this task much quicker and more safely than a manned exploration [[JumpShip]].<ref name=XTRO/>

However, during the first voyage without an escort, the prototype left its planned ten-jump course and exited known space, with the final sighting at [[New Samarkand]]. While other sightings of the craft have been reported since, none have been confirmed and it is generally assumed the craft is no longer functional after half a millennium.<ref name=XTRO/>
