Aware of the limited budget that the then-modern Republic Survey and Scout Service was operating under, they decided to offer an affordable alternative to the pricier vessels from Republic Sienar Systems and the Corellian Engineering Corporation by utilizing a modular hull that could easily be built by segments (and offer improved modification options by attaching mission specific modules to the core vessel). During the waning years of the Republic and prior to the Naboo Incident, Hoersch-Kessel wanted to strike out once more into the open market and veer away from their Trade Federation exclusive designs.
