Capsule: It was 20.3 meters long, carrying 1 pilot, 2 passengers, 2 months' worth of consumables, 5 metric tons within the ship, and 20 optional additional metric tons of cargo per each of two cargo pods attached.

The ship could achieve a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour in atmosphere. A Miradyne RCS-1 flight control computer and Novaldex JV-71 ion engine allowed sublight speed, which was slowed down and reduced in maneuverability if the cargo pods were attached. The ship had a Class 1 hyperdrive and a Class 12 backup.

Though unshielded, the craft had a Fabritech ANx-y/2 sensor cluster and a forward BlasTech Prm-3 pulse laser cannon.

The Seeker was created as a replacement to the Vangaard Industries Pathfinder. It was used as a scout by the Scout Force or as a courier in the Outer Rim by private interests and criminals.
