![]() ![]() My candidates for this would be the Centaur class, I think, as a nice escort\frigate\scout ship that would probably stick close to base (it's 210 meters long, and has less internal volume than a Miranda class ship, so the supplies for the crew are going to be rather limited). The "Lost Era" I'm thinking of is between the TOS Movies and TNG, to be clear. I assume that, if the mission demands it, Starfleet will customarily assign at least one ship permanently to a Starbase\Station, so that there'd never be a time the base would be lacking a ship. Most importantly, Defiant is permanently based out of DS9 and later Starbase 375. Star Trek Roleplaying Game: Starships by Decipher, Inc.The roles I'm thinking of, in this case, are ships that act as support craft to a station for patrol and other missions for Space Stations, like how we see the Danube class operating or how Defiant acts as part of DS9's defenses (obviously she's a uniquely designed warship, but she dosen't spend 100% of her time fighting the Jem'Hadar or Borg, a lot of the time she does regular starship duties that argument DS9's capabilities).Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Core Game Book by Last Unicorn Games.Star Trek Adventures - Core Rulebook by Modiphius Entertainment.Hangar - Danube Runabouts article at the Star Trek Online Wiki.Danube Class Runabout article at the Star Trek Online Wiki.Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection special issue " Runabout.".Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection issue 32: " Starfleet Runabout.".Chief of Starfleet Research and Exploration įacilities: 40 Eridani A Starfleet Construction Yards. ![]() It was standard practice to name Danube-class vessels for rivers on Federation member worlds.Īppendices Connections Starfleet Spacecraft Classes It employed the FSQ-2 Primary Force Field and Deflector Control System software to control its deflector shields. Without a mission pod, the standard Danube runabout had 6 type-VI phaser banks and 2 Mk 25 direct-fire micro-torpedo launch tubes. These units allowed a cruising speed of warp 2 and a maximum speed of warp 5. The initial propulsion systems of the class included 2 LF-7X2 Advanced Compact Linear Warp Drive Nacelles and 2 FIB-3 Compact Subatomic Unified Energy Impulse Engines. When the Danube entered service in 2368, the available modules were: sensor station research lab medical palette power generator and personnel transport. One of the key principles of the Danube-class design was high versatility, so the runabout was designed with a variety of modules and mission pods. The vessels entered official service the next year and were soon in use throughout the United Federation of Planets. The prototype USS Danube conducted flight tests at Mars in late 2367 that were so successful that Starfleet Command ordered the class into immediate production. ![]() The design was completed and construction of the prototype began in 2365. ![]() Designers eventually developed an extremely modular design named the Danube-class. The plan was to develop an auxiliary craft that was more capable than standard shuttlecraft, but at a much lower resource cost than corvette type starships.Īlthough aiming for a smaller starship, engineers at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards still took inspiration from the Aerie-class, a civilian design that had seen extensive use in both the private sector and Starfleet. In 2363, the Advanced Starship Design Bureau began a series of studies to develop a small, versatile craft that could fulfill a wide array of missions. ![]()
