The [[Type-11 shuttle]], designed by the crew of the ''Enterprise'', is a modular design that allows production, with minimal extra parts, straight from a ship's replicator system. It has a cockpit cabin which is separated from the rest of the interior and a docking port above the passenger compartment behind the cockpit. It is armed with three light phaser arrays and a pair of micro-photon launchers. Aboard the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' Type-11s are traditionally named after the sites of famous battles;

The Type-18 was designed to function in battle situations and could even be used as an escape vehicle should the need arise.  Lacking a warp core, the pod is a poor choice for travel beyond several million kilometers. Aboard the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'' Type 18's are traditionally named after big cats of [[Earth]];

The [[Danube Class]] 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.

Line 191: Line 193:
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 three runabouts assigned to the Ronin are the ''USS Wye'', the ''USS Murray'' and the ''USS Cedar'', the first named after a [[wp:River Wye|river in Wales]], the second a [[wp:Murray River|river in Austrialia's southeast]] and the third a [[wp:Cedar River (Iowa River)|river in Minnesota and Iowa]].

*Aboard the [[Ronin|Ronin]] Type M-1 Sphinx Workpods are traditionally named after famous Inventors; In 1876, at the age of 29, ''Alexander Graham Bell'' invented his telephone. ''John Logie Baird'' is remembered as the inventor of mechanical television (an earlier version of television). Baird also patented inventions related to radar and fiber optics.

The Type M-1 Sphinx Workpod ia a light industrial manipulator, with room for two.  Powered by one microfusion reactor, four alfinium krellide power storage cells and four RCS thrusters, the Sphinx Workpod is used mainly as an Engineering shuttle to repair anything on the outside.

Line 206: Line 205:
Along with the Work Bee, the various Sphinx Workpod types are a common site in any large Federation shipbuilding facility.  Intended never to be far from its parent facility, the Workpod was designed to allow greater user hands-on control of the various functions involved with day-to-day construction and repair.  With more tools then the Work Bee, the Sphinx M1A and M2A are used primarily to manipulate spaceborne hardware during construction.  The Sphinx MT3D is a third variant of this robust design, and can be used for towing objects to and from the construction site. Furthermore, a group of MT3D units can work together to tow larger objects into place, including most starship classes, when large tractor emitters are not an option.  All three variants utilize the same basic systems, and are small enough to fit inside of a Type-9A Cargo Shuttlecraft.  All variants of the Sphinx Workpod are commonly found at Federation Fleet Yards and Starbases, as well as on larger Starfleet vessels.
