Neosapien Outrider Sloop Class

Heavily armored with a couple guns, and fairly quick, these were only seen in one episode in outer space defending Mars from an approaching Scout Ship. Why they were not seen again is questionable. Most likely their weaponry was inadequte (lack of missiles, and the guns don't do much damage) and/or they lacked the range necessary for more than planetary defense. They are probably used as an advance guard to deal with minor threats, radioing for help with larger ones.
