:The workbees have a longer operational time (80 hours) than their Sphinx counterparts, though you wouldn’t want to be stuck in one for that full time. They are essentially hybrids between EVA suits and shuttlecraft: Built for one, but with the tools of a maintenance vehicle for ship repairs. A pair of robotic manipulator arms is folded beneath the main housing, and allows for work to be done through pilot-operated controls. Each Workbee is capable of handling a cargo attachment that makes it ideal for transferring cargo around large starbases and spaceborne construction facilities.

:The ''Astraeus'', as the lone ship in an unexplored region, carries two autonomous runabouts for long-range missions. They are fully warp-capable and armed well for small craft and may be deployed to investigate when the ''Astraeus'' is needed elsewhere.
