The Danube | [[Image:Danube1.jpg|left]] | ||
The [[Danube class]] runabouts are all named after rivers on Earth. In addition, like starships and unlike shuttlecraft, each runabout has its own registry number (ie. NCC or NX). | |||
The Danube Cclass was first commissioned by Starfleet in 2369 for use as a light multipurpose craft in situations that demanded a vessel more powerful than a standard shuttlecraft, but lower profile than a full-sized starship. With this flexibility, a runabout can be utilized as a long-range personnel/cargo transport, an agile mobile defense platform, or high-speed reconnaissance vehicle. | |||
Ideally, a runabout is piloted by two crewmembers, although one pilot will suffice. The bridge can accommodate up to four people. Small square viewscreens mounted within the forward corners of the cabin are used for video communication and ship status displays. In the center of the vessel lies a food replicator and a compact personnel transporter. The transporter is powerful enough to transport multiple personnel at once. | Ideally, a runabout is piloted by two crewmembers, although one pilot will suffice.

The runabout's highly modular platform allows easy configuration for a multitude of missions. Two such modules are the mission module and sensor pod. For defence, the runabout is armed with phasers and microtorpedoes. The microtorpedo launcher assembly is accessible via a hatch on the floor of the forward cabin. | The runabout's highly modular platform allows easy configuration for a multitude of missions.

The 6 runabouts assigned to Deep Space 26 were constructed specifically for that station. They have been assigned to Deep Space 26 and have seen no other duty as of yet. They were constructed at Starbase 118 at a rate of one a month and shipped to Deep Space 26 upon completion. They have no permanent crew, and are assigned personnel based upon their selected mission. | The 6 runabouts assigned to [[Deep Space 26]] were constructed specifically for that station.

The type-7 shuttlecraft is a Starfleet auxiliary vehicle carried by starships in the 24th century. The type-7 shuttlecraft was introduced sometime prior to 2364. | The type-7 shuttlecraft is a Starfleet auxiliary vehicle carried by starships in the 24th century.
