These are refits of the J. Edgar and Condor, designed for use in recon missions. The Condor (with ECM) is also suited for an Electronic Warfare role in other types of missions.
The story behind these is: Our game has a "MercNet Sales Board", sort of like a mercenary's Craigslist, where I post things that they can buy for a little cheaper than "retail", or occasional used custom refits. I posted these when they had a recon contract coming up, and they had only one unit on their force with an active probe. The campaign had been a bit rough on them lately, so I wanted to give them a chance at some cheapish units with said equipment.
The J. Edgar gets an upgrade to Ferro-Fibrous armor, which gives it the tiniest bump in armor protection, but mostly gives it enough free tonnage to carry the Beagle and still leave room for 2 ER Mediums and a machine gun with a half ton of ammo.

The Condor is a more radical departure from its roots. I hemmed & hawwed over this loadout much more than the above J. Edgar, finally opting for survivability over firepower. The weapons loadout is completely different from the original- 3 ER Mediums and an MML-7 with Artemis IV. This one gets both the Beagle and a Guardian ECM suite, and has enough free tonnage for more armor. This is the one my players ended up with.
