Hoppers were designed for a variety of different assignments ranging from zero-g troop deployment to mobile ground ops and heavy ordinance deployment. They were created through necessity in late 2347 as a direct response to the Setlik III massacre and the following outbreak of hostilities with the Cardassian Union. | Hoppers were designed for a variety of different assignments ranging from zero-g troop deployment to mobile ground ops and heavy ordinance deployment.

Both Hoppers are configured as colonial transport vehicles, rated to move people short-range interstellar. The hopper's were assigned to Duronis II given the planet's unstable post-revolutionary political state. Their purpose is primarily as an emergency escape vehicle for the embassy staff, and can evacuate up to 48 people in one launch. Any remaining crew can utilize the runabout, transporters to access the nearby launch facility, or an orbiting vessel. | Both Hoppers are configured as colonial transport vehicles, rated to move people short-range interstellar.
