These shuttles were introduced later in 2371 and later became used aboard many starships, including ''Intrepid''-class and ''Sovereign''-class vessels. Despite it's longer length, these vessels actually carry two fewer passengers than Type-8 shuttlecraft. Their design allows for a longer time away from their home ship, possibly weeks at a time. They are able to maintain high warp for extended periods due to their geometric configuration and they house a compact long-range sensor in their deflector dish, making them ideal scouting vessels. | These shuttles were introduced later in 2371 and later became used aboard many starships, including ''Intrepid''-class and ''Sovereign''-class vessels.
