TYPE 18 SHUTTLE COMPLIMENT
|
| Developed
in the mid-2360s, the Type-18 Shuttlepod is somewhat of a departure
from the traditional layout for ships of its size. In response to the
growing threat of conflicts with various galactic powers bordering or
near to the Federation, this shuttlepod was designed to handle more
vigorous assignments that still fell into the short-range roles of a
shuttlepods. Even with her parent vessel under attack, the Type-18 was
designed to function in battle situations and could even be used as an
escape vehicle should the need arise. Lacking a warp core, the pod is a
poor choice for travel beyond several million kilometers. Ships of this
type are seeing limited deployment on various border patrol and
defensive starship classes, including the Defiant-, Sabre-, and
Steamrunner-class. - - USS Terra Nova Type 18 shuttlepod: Current: - SP Endeavor - SP Columbia - Technical Specifications: Classification: Medium short-range impulse shuttle Structure: (Duranium/Tritanium) Warp Systems: Impulse Systems: Tactical Systems: Crew and Auxiliary Systems: Additional Information: |
