The seven shuttle vehicles most often carried in the USS Steadfast-A inventory are represented in the views and specifications below. Single major uprated variants are included. As combinations of interchangeable components, such as cargo pallets, engines, and unique mission housings, will affect vehicle dimensions and performance figures, only base values are given. | The seven shuttle vehicles most often carried in the USS Steadfast-A inventory are represented in the views and specifications below.

The interior habitat volume is subdivided to form the flight deck, two modest staterooms, flight crew bunks, galley, and Engineering access. Surrounding the habitat are the imbedded impulse engine system, cryogenic reactant tanks, lenticular aerodyne atmosphere flight motors, and related subsystems. The spacecraft is normally piloted by a crew of two, supplemented by a service representative to assist diplomatic guests. | The interior habitat volume is subdivided to form the flight deck, two modest staterooms, flight crew bunks, galley, and Engineering access.

The yacht is capable of sustained sublight velocities approaching 0.65''c''. The impulse propulsion system (IPS) consists of six sequential beam-fusion reaction chambers feeding a central toroidal driver coil. Each chamber measures 1.3m in diameter and is similar to its larger IPS cousins on the ''Steadfast-A''. The reaction exhaust is vented through the driver coil and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) accelerator for impulse travel. The MHD tap provides power to the navigational deflector grid for removal of interstellar dust and gas from the vehicle flight path. For atmosphere flight the exhaust is redirected after it exits the MHD tunnel and sent through the aerodyne engines around the ellipse equator. The normal atmosphere cruising velocity is Mach 6; maximum safe waverider velocity is Mach 20.

The ''Steadfast-A'' is designed to operate safely without the yacht in place, since its [[SIF|structural integrity field]] and [[IDF|inertial damping fields]] produce slightly modified fields in those areas to compensate for the concavity of the yacht docking structure. Yacht operational rules in the vicinity of the starship are generally the same as those for other auxiliary spacecraft, with the difference being that the yacht, during emergency | The ''Steadfast-A'' is designed to operate safely without the yacht in place, since its [[SIF|structural integrity field]] and [[IDF|inertial damping fields]] produce slightly modified fields in those areas to compensate for the concavity of the yacht docking structure. Yacht operational rules in the vicinity of the starship are generally the same as those for other auxiliary spacecraft, with the difference being that the yacht, during emergency undocking, may be safely deployed at velocities as high as Warp 7. The yacht's systems are designed to afford the craft a smooth falloff of warp field, though the decaying field energy cannot be sustained for any appreciable time. | ||
