An impressive asset to the Imperial navy, the Surveyor is Sienar Fleet Systems' most powerful scout craft. Providing real-time tactical intelligence and targetting data back to a fleet, the Surveyor is capable of scanning entire systems by itself, a distinct advantage over smaller recon TIEs. The Surveyor is equipped with an incredible array of sensors, communications equipment, a Crystal Grav Trap, Hyperwave Signal Indicators and a large number of probe droids and sensor remotes. To provide the communications capabilities needed in this kind of vessel, it is equipped with a Mk 30 subspace transceiver fitted with a Class IV power booster, over fifty tight beam communications lasers, a powerful communications jammer and a full HoloNet Tranciever. The brains of the ship are occupied in a pair of Series 50 mainframes, which provide more computing power than many planet-based systems. The Surveyor is visibly distinguished from the Interceptor only by the hundreds of thousands of antennae sticking up out of the hull.

Because of this ship's power, it was fitted with the most state-of-the-art anti-theft system. A self-destruct system is activated by one of three ways: 1) entering the command destruct, which starts a two minute count down; 2) remote command from an officer of the rank of Grand Moff or higher; and, 3) failure to reset the timed switch once per duty watch. In form, these craft are nearly indistinguishable from the Interceptor. The Imperial navy has purchased several of these craft.
