{{quote|Saud Kruger are famed for their range of luxury passenger vessels. This is their top of the line vessel (although they do offer custom built vessels that are bigger) and is capable of carrying passengers in extreme comfort and elegance. For its size and class it's also quite capable of defending itself.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Orca''' is currently one of three known passenger ships, the others being the [[Dolphin]] and the [[Beluga Liner]]. In the current game {{CurrentVersion}} there is not much difference between a passenger ship and other ships except for the sleek and fashionable design, long windows, and luxurious interior.

==Notes==
* Initially decals could not be fitted. Now they can and even some basic paint jobs are available (Vibrant pack)
* The Orca is the only ship in game that cannot fit a optimal sized shield. It requires a size 6 for optimal, but can only take a size 5 in one of the size 5 slots.
* The Orca sells for a 20% discount at Irkutsk in the Alioth system. (As Alioth is the political center of the Alliance, a system permit is required. Places to get such a permit include Rominger Dock in the 78 Ursae Majoris system. Look for the "Making Friends And Going Places" job on the Bulletin Board.)

{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is Lakon Spaceway's specialist combat explorer vessel. Unlike its bigger brother Asp, the Diamondback isn't suited as an all rounder vessel. It is popular with elite recon and pathfinder units with navies throughout human space. Its relatively low cost also makes it a popular choice with independent pilots who appreciate its combat and exploration potential.|In-game description}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a combat explorer [[ships|ship]] and a confirmed vessel in the [[Powerplay]] update.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=052f58fc7d#peek Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #70]</ref>

== History ==
{{Quote|The Diamondback Scout is [[Lakon Spaceways]]’ attempt to repeat the success of the [[Asp]] range at a medium price point. The result was a combat capable ship with good jump capability and was pitched as a light long range reconnaissance ship. After the ship’s maiden flight it was criticized for not having the same versatility as the Asp, but it has seen modest success in the long range reconnaissance, long range interceptor and fast picket ship roles for organisations not able or willing to invest in the heavy price tag of the Asp.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=347cbf826e Elite: Dangerous Newsletter #77]</ref>|In-game history}}
