Getting one

A Scarab is built at the forge from a Scarab blueprint. A dropped blueprint has 5 uses.

Material	Quantity
Veskar	268
Pirite	151
Helspar	38
Solstine	21
Dark Triton	36

Quantities are for a Normal blueprint. Building a hull covers the forge, research and what rarer blueprints cost.

Where the blueprint comes from

• NPC wrecks and loot containers can drop the blueprint.
• Boss wrecks can drop it.
• It can appear in the Ganden quartermaster's stock from the rank of Recruit. A quartermaster blueprint is faction issue: it cannot be researched and the Scarab it builds is always Faction quality.
