As the Circasian Empire continued to grow it became obvious that the small fleet of dedicated explorers could not adequately maintain the needed pace of exploration. The Tratha hull proved acceptable as a starting point for developing a mid-sized jump ship.
The Tratha Scoutships were used to follow up on previously explored system located by the larger Kiralina Jump Ships. Because of this the Tratha Scoutships are optimized for performing planetary survey missions and scientific research, not combat situations.
