A JumpMaster 5000 served as a scout ship.
A scout ship, sometimes written as scout-ship, designates any kind of starship used for the purposes of reconnaissance or exploration.
As the Galactic Republic grew outward from the Core, they utilized such vessels to chart new territories of space. During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the Galactic Empire developed a scout ship prototype known as the Star Herald. The Galactic Empire also employed the TIE scout, a starfighter variant from the TIE fighter series, for duties involving reconnaissance. Another vessel, the JumpMaster 5000, was constructed specifically for scouting new hyperlane routes and long-range reconnaissance operations.
A scout ship was flown by the Guavian Death Gang; it was called an Avandor-class fighter/transport.
