==Trivia==<br />
*The ship is named after the ancient constellation "Scorpius", which is located in the southern celestial hemisphere where it sits near the center of the Milky Way. Its representation as a scorpion is related to the Greek legend of the scorpion that stung Orion to death and is said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises in the night sky.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpius Wikipedia: Scorpius]</ref><br />
