The Falke is the primary NSL scout vessel and is widely used for reconnaissance and courier duties. Its armoured hull gives it better survivability against enemy light units than many other scout ships, but the trade-off for this is its very light armament - a single Class-1 beam battery, which does dual service as a point-defence and light anti-ship weapon. There is a stripped-down "strike" version of the Falke which removes the hull armour and mounts a single disposable submunition pack in addition to the beam system.
