Type M-1 Sphinx Workpods
- 2 Type M-1 Sphinx Workpods
- A light industrial manipulator, with room for two. Powered by one microfusion reactor, four alfinium krellide power storage cells and four RCS thrusters, the Sphinx Workpod is used mainly as an Engineering shuttle to repair anything on the outside. Along with the Work Bee, the various Sphinx Workpod types are a common site in any large Federation shipbuilding facility. Intended never to be far from its parent facility, the Workpod was designed to allow greater user hands-on control of the various functions involved with day-to-day construction and repair. With more tools then the Work Bee, the Sphinx M1A and M2A are used primarily to manipulate spaceborne hardware during construction.
On the Independence the Work Bee is designed to opperate outside the ship's shield and to house an Engineer repairing the outer hull. There are only two attached to the Independence due to it's Multi Vector Assault Mode.
Type 11 Personnel Shuttles
The Type-11 shuttle, designed by the crew of the [ma:USS Enterprise|USS Enterprise]], is a modular design that allows production, with minimal extra parts, straight from a ship's replicator system. It has a cockpit cabin which is separated from the rest of the interior and a docking port above the passenger compartment behind the cockpit. It is armed with three light phaser arrays and a pair of micro-photon launchers.
The Independence has two of these vessels produced by their own Engineering crew compliment. This was a big move in shuttlecraft design to allow starships to produce their own shuttlecraft to their desired specifications. At the moment, no major changes have been implimented on the design of the Type 11.
