V-Ship Flight Deck Tactical Scanner
Primary tactical scanner and display system on the V-Ship's flight deck. This integrated system first detects seven slow-moving objects converging on Lobos (later identified as stolen beacon sections by Hermack), then picks up a faster-moving Beta Dart ship entering the sensor range. The scanner's readouts are monitored by Penn, with Warne relaying critical updates to Hermack via the same console interface. The system's clear signals enable the crew's strategic pivot from beacon recovery to immediate pursuit of the pirate vessel, contrasting with prior jamming issues that had obscured sensor data.
