CT Only: First Scout/Courier

Its best circumstance would be for the original manufacturer to reacquire it as an example of how sturdy and dependable their ships can be. A 4000-year-old ad for dependability. That would be better than the Top Gear episode where they tried to kill a Toyota Hylux pickup. They couldn’t do it.

Or this IRL commercial:
video: tow truck brings smashed totalled Subaru to junkyard. Crew has sad shocked looks on their faces.
driver: "They lived !"

In this case, crew was rescued because distress beacon _still_ worked.

Hmmm ... would the original Owners Manual for that 4000 year old Type-S be written in Egyptian hieroglyphics?

Some form of Old High Vilani, and if you can't find a reader for it, you haven't asked the right IP holder. Who is also Vilani.

Suerrat jump-capable travel goes back 9,200 years (from the Traveller Golden Age). Add another thousand years to that for the Vilani and Geonee.
