Ship / class history:

Travel pods were mostly used within spacedocks to transport personnel in the late 23rd century. Still today some travel pods are active as inspection vehicles but they´ve lost their importance as transport vehicles when it became usual to connect the ships turbolift system with the spacedock and when the transporters became safer.

Energy and propulsion systems

Ship / class history:

The only time the executive shuttle could be seen was in "Star Trek VI" when it took our heroes to the Spacedock. It is uncertain whether the shuttle is equipped with warp drive. There are two flat cylindrical structures that resemble Galaxy-class warp nacelles on the underside, but such warp nacelles shouldn't exist as early as 2293.

The miniature was later converted to represent a large starship, the Sydney class, by adding many rows of windows, a bridge module and Constitution-type warp nacelles. The remaining similarity between the small shuttle and the large starship must be a coincidence. It is absolutely wrong to call the shuttle "Sydney class", as it is done in the Fact Files.

I assume that the "blue shuttle" that picked up survivors from the saucer of the Enterprise-D in Generations was of this type too. This shuttle is attached to the Farragut, as indicated by its hull number NCC-60597. The size of the blue shuttle which can be seen floating above the saucer is consistent with the structural analysis of the shuttle model.

Primary weapons: Phasers

Defensive systems: Shields

Energy and propulsion systems

Primary energy source: MARA MC warp module(s)

Crew interface: LCARS

Ship / class history:

Large shuttles of this type are assigned to Earth Spacedock.

It seems the spacedock shuttle is equipped with impulse drive only. Shuttles of this type can also be seen in Earth's atmosphere in "Star Trek IV". The size of 8m is based on the human figures inside the studio model.

The publication 30 Jahre Star Trek calls the shuttle #5 "Magellan". I don't know where this information comes from. The studio model itself does not seem have a name painted on the hull.

Starfleet mission scout

Technical specifications: Transporter systems

Length: 24,4m Personnel transporters: 1

Width: 16,2m

Height: ca 7m

Decks: 1

Crew:

Weapon systems

Primary weapons: Phasers

Secondary weapons: Photon torpedos

Defensive systems: Shields

Primary energy source: MARA Crew interface: LCARS

Ship / class history:

This scout was used by Data in ST "Insurrection". It´s fast , maneuverable, and for a ship of this size, very well armed.

Captains Yacht

Technical specifications: Transporter systems

Decks: 2

Crew:

Weapon systems

Primary weapons: Phasers

Defensive systems: Shields

Energy and propulsion systems Computer systems

Primary energy source: MARA Crew interface: LCARS

Ship / class history:

The captain's yacht of a Galaxy-class and a Nebula-class vessel is docked to the center of the ventral saucer section. It is equipped with impulse drive and atmospheric thrusters.

The TNGTM has an embarrassing mistake because the dimensions of the captain's yacht are only less than half of what they should be, considering that the yacht's outline is clearly visible in ventral views of the ship. Therefore the depicted cross-section of the yacht is wrong too, unless it was built for giants. The correct length is 23m in flight direction, as can be easily measured in the Enterprise-D Blueprints.

The yacht of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D was christened "Calypso", after Jacques Cousteau's ship, by Patrick Stewart. We have never seen this vehicle in action.

Captains Yacht

Technical specifications: Transporter systems

Length: 18m Personnel transporters: 1

Width: 10m

Ship / class history:

This Captain's yacht is carried onboard the Enterprise-E and other of these class of starships. They are used for the captain's personal use, normally diplomatic missions. It's located in the center on the ventral side of the saucer, directly below the bridge.

Ship / class history:

The Argo is a specialized shuttlecraft developed by Starfleet for ferrying cargo and vehicles between orbit and planetary surfaces when conditions preclude the use of transporters.

The shuttlecraft entered active service in 2378 and is currently seeing limited deployment in a limited number of heavy cruisers and explorer type vessels. The design is fairly conventional for a Starfleet shuttle with technology taken from existing shuttles. However, there are some differences with the Argo Shuttle. The warp nacelles are more integrated with the body instead of extended from them (usually the norm for Federation shuttles.) This increases the protection on her nacelles. She also has folding winglets that helps the Argo during atmospheric flight. The big difference is the aft cargo dock that has room for the Argo, a ground based All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), An Anti-grav vehicle for movement of cargo across both land and water, and two smaller anti-grav vehicles for individual purposes.

Like any other shuttlecraft, the Argo has the standard warp propulsion system, impulse engines, shields, phaser emitters, and two micro torpedo launchers. Due to her size she is not as fast or as maneuverable as other shuttlecraft. First seen in Star Trek Nemesis
