There are three Starfleet Runabouts stationed on USS Thunder-A:

Location & Usage

The USS Martin Luther King Jr. is stored in the bunker located under the main Embassy building, able to launch from the bay door located to the south of the Embassy. It is used primarily as a transport option for the Ambassador and senior staff when engagements require travel. It can also, however, be used as an emergency escape vehicle for the Embassy staff, and can evacuate up to forty people in one launch. Any remaining crew can utilize the Hopper, transporters to access the nearby launch facility, or an orbiting vessel.

The other Runabouts and one Hopper are stored at a secure launching facility within Lokesh's small makeshift spaceport. Located approximately thirty kilometers from the main Embassy building but accessible by ground transportation or transporter.
