Battletech Pueblo

From Sarna.net: The Pueblo was born when modified civilian ships were able to obtain intelligence, but unable to defend themselves when the need arose. Early in their existence, the SLDF often deployed the Bug-Eye to meet the role, but its astronomical price tag, being undergunned, and containing highly classified technology made it a poor choice as well. What was created, was designated the Pueblo, which shared the same internal characteristics as each other, but had at least a dozen different exteriors to look like a common civilian craft. To ensure that any information was able to be transmitted quickly and without the need of a JumpShip, each Pueblo had a portable hyperpulse generator installed.
