A Garidian scout was a small, warp drive-capable scout starship operated by the Garidians. They are almost identical to Romulan scout ships except for the light gray/flat red paint scheme on their hulls, which is typical of Garidian military vessels. A Garidian scout ship's engines require more delicate handling and operation: if driven too hard, the warp core becomes unstable. (TNG video game: A Final Unity)
