The NX Wallace, launched late 2380, fulfilled all of the requirements set by Starfleet. It was capable of being constructed in a spacestation-sized hangar bay with Industrial replicators or could be built in a spacedock if needed. The design was compact, and its intent was for short in-system missions. For this reason, the warp drive is not especially powerful, but rather boasts a modest speed capable of Warp 6.8, well above the average civilian freighter. Weapons systems were also standard components, although to maximize the usefulness of the torpedo launcher, it was placed in a retractable turret on the bottom of the craft, capable of swinging 360 degrees. Mounted opposite the torpedo launcher on the turret is a powerful tractor beam, taken directly from Sovereign designs and connected directly to the ship's core power supply. The deflector is ringed by sensors based off of the Nova Class sensor suite. The bridge is arranged like a normal starship with a central chair for the Commanding Officer and stations around it. However, the front of the bridge has a combined window, as a shuttle or runabout would, as well as a viewscreen HUD overlay. A ward room in the aft of the ship performs multiple duties as briefing room, transporter pad, a simple galley, and medical bay. The lower deck contains the computer core, Main Engineering, cargo space, and sensor stations. Rooms on the first and second decks hold small bunks that fold down from the walls to be used as bunks. The ship is not, however, designed for long-term missions and these rooms are intended to be used as cargo and triage spaces rather than quarters. The third subdeck contains access to the landing gear and turret, as well as the emergency lifeboat subsystems. Six escape pods are located on the lower deck of the ship, and four are located on the top deck.

Due to the design of this craft, a landing system was included. The engines for atmospheric flight are comparable to the Danube or Talon runabout systems. The landing system also allows the Wallace to dock on external pads on stations and, in some cases, dock directly to the hull of a starship.

The Valkyrie is based on an aerowing design, which is suitable for limited atmospheric flight. The smoothed aerowing surface encases the twin warp nacelles and impulse engines. The cockpit incorporates features similar to a standard Starfleet shuttlecraft, with additional mission specific equipment, and the incorporation of a manual steering column. The cockpit also incorporates an Emergency Transporter system for the flight crew.

The two-man crew is composed of a pilot and gunner station, both working in tandem to maximize the Valkyrie's systems. The flight suits the crew wears provide reserve life-support functions, and there has been no accommodations made for crew relaxation or rest outside of their flight seats. The Valkyrie is small enough to operate from a standard Starfleet shuttlebay, and it can also dock using the ventral docking port, which also serves as the crews' primary hatch.

The escape pod is incorporated into the forward fuselage/cockpit and is designed to separate from the engineering section of the fighter. In case of catastrophic damage the crew can eject the forward 1/3 of the Valkyrie and get clear of the explosion. In this mode, the cockpit can serve as a standard Starfleet escape pod, complete with reentry capabilities and an encoded subspace distress beacon. The Valkyrie also features a low-powered tractor beam system. This allows the Valkyrie to be used to retrieve escape pods, cargo, and allows it to tow other fighters back to the base of operations.

The Valkyrie is built around the Two Type U+ Pulse Phaser Cannons, which are considered its primary weapon system. Two conventional Type V Phaser arrays have been incorporated along the Valkyrie's dorsal and ventral spine as defensive weapons. The Type V Phasers are also intended to deter pursing spacecraft, and when an experienced pilot/gunner team utilizes the Valkyrie's capabilities they can be used to herd enemies into firing position.

The Valkyrie's close-range weaponry has been augmented by the addition of two-microtorpedo launchers. These are utilized during short-range strafing attacks, and when the Valkyrie is utilized to support Starfleet ground units and a photon torpedo strike would endanger friendly and enemy units alike.

During the Dominion war, the Peregrin was pressed into service and the class saw heavy losses. One of the most prominent battles the Peregrin Class saw action in was the battle to reclaim Deep Space 9 from the Dominion-Cardassian Alliance.

Although these ships come in several different models, Obsidian Fleet uses the two-man heavy fighter variant. This design has two type U+ pulse phaser cannons as well as the type IV phaser. Optionally six full-sized photon/quantum torpedoes may be used in addition to this- although this has an adverse effect on the ships maneuverability.

1: Heavy Fighter:
No pod, this is a default setting for the fighter and gives the best performance from onboard systems

2: Assault Fighter:
Two additional Type-U+ phaser emitter's shoulder mounted forward of Impulse Engines, slightly reduces manoeuvrability

3: Light Bomber:
Micro Tri-Cobalt launcher, under slung forward of Impulse Engines, 8 warheads, has a negative effect on manoeuvrability; therefore the fighter should be escorted by faster craft

4: Light Bomber 2:
6 full sized Photon/Quantum Torpedoes under the wings. This has an adverse effect upon the fighters manoeuvrability and should only be considered when placed in a bomber role (also see notes for 3)

Also:
The fighter has six hard points under the wings and fuselage. These can carry any standard Starfleet ordinance, but the fighter cannot carry any other pod at the same time as these hard points are used, these are used in weapon configuration 4

The Type 10 Runabout proved reasonably successful in service, though the small cabin size limited its operations somewhat. Starfleet has gradually enlarged and improved the Runabout concept over the next twenty years or so, culminating in the Danube class Runabout first requested in 2363. This vehicle was designed to accomplish four main missions; the ability to perform rapid response scientific expedition transportation, the ability to act as an orbital or landed temporary operations base for science missions, the ability to transport intact experiment and cargo modules, and the ability to perform tactical missions such as intelligence gathering, covert insertion/extraction of personnel, and disruption of threat activities where feasible.

The Danube features a front cabin for the crew of pilot, co-pilot/navigator and two mission specialists. A two person transporter is at the rear of the cabin, with swappable mission modules aft of this. The modular nature of the Danube allows it to be configured for missions such as personnel transport, cargo transport, scientific research, tactical, medical, etc. Above the main spaces is the warp core, which is fed by an antimatter fuel pod at the aft and its matter equivalent at the fore end. The power transfer conduits run down the bulky nacelle roots, which also contain the impulse drive reactors and various other equipment.

The impulse engines comprise two sets of four fusion reactors, plus space-time drive coils and vectored exhaust directors. The system also includes interstellar or atmospheric intake vents and condenser-separators for fuel distillation. Control and fuel feed connections are essentially identical to any comparable impulse system. When maintenance is required, the entire assembly can be removed as a single unit.

The vehicles twin computer core is located under the cockpit subfloor and measures 2.3 x 2.1 x 1.3 metres. It is a standard isolinear unit, with a total of 186 isolinear banks and 53 command pre-processors and data analysis units. Subnodes distributed throughout the vehicle report to the main computer via a standard ODN system.

The Danube's tactical systems are surprisingly comprehensive for a vehicle of its size. The microtorpedo launchers fire 14 cm torpedoes with photon or quantum warheads. If required the Danube can also carry four full size torpedoes. As on a starship, the shield system is fed by a portion of the warp power output.

The shuttlecraft entered active service in 2378 and is currently seeing limited deployment in a limited number of heavy cruisers and explorer type vessels. The design is fairly conventional for a Starfleet shuttle with technology taken from existing shuttles. However, there are some differences with the Argo Shuttle. The warp nacelles are more integrated with the body instead of extended from them (usually the norm for Federation shuttles.) This increases the protection on her nacelles. She also has folding winglets that helps the Argo during atmospheric flight. The big difference is the aft cargo dock that has room for the Argo, a ground based All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), An Anti-grav vehicle for movement of cargo across both land and water, and two smaller anti-grav vehicles for individual purposes.

Like any other shuttlecraft, the Argo has the standard warp propulsion system, impulse engines, shields, phaser emitters, and two micro torpedo launchers. Due to her size she is not as fast or as maneuverable as other shuttlecraft.

Description
As part of the design work of the Defiant and Type-10 Shuttles, the Type-18 represents some of the newer engineering practices in Starfleet. There are several key design changes from the Type 15 in the Type 18: impulse engines are mounted as pods which better armour them and protect them from damage, the Type 18 can has larger life support systems, and the Type 18 is much more heavily armed than the Type 15. The Type 18\'s phasers are mounted as a turret on the top of the shuttlepod and it was designed to be swappable and removable from the hull. This is not a combat-ready shuttle, however, because of its very light shielding. The phasers were added to the design to allow the shuttlepod to fulfil some of the more vigorous assignments that fell into the role of the shuttlepod, such as debris clearance, escaping from battle, and short-range inspections and scouting.

Manned by a normal flight crew of two and one service representative to assist diplomatic guests, the upper deck houses a flight deck, two modest staterooms, flight crew bunks, and a galley. While not equipped with any means of warp propulsion, the Yacht is specially designed so that it can be launched from its parent ships at speeds as high as Warp 7, where it then coasts down to normal impulse speeds. A deflector system and onboard sensor pallets make the craft suitable for short-range travel. Used normally to transport dignitaries to and from a planet's surface when normal transporter use is not possible, the Yacht is capable of atmospheric flight and planetary landing. Entry/egress platforms on both ends of the craft allow the crew to easily enter and exit the craft.

Some modern versions of the Captain's Yacht are being equipped with two-person short-range transporter systems.

To ensure the rapid deployment of troops, the Hopper comes with personnel transporters capable of placing a fire-team of marines down anywhere on a planet of a similar size to Earth. Alternatively, the Hopper can land, and marines can exit the vessel through the side doors, which also double as ramps.

Larger vessels carry Wyverns in their shuttlebay. Once the carrier vessel has reached its destination, it can open it's doors and allow the Wyvern to "drop" into the atmosphere. Wyvern's come with high-powered impulse engines to allow them to reach the safety of the carrier vessel; although in an atmosphere they resort to conventional atmospheric thrusters. The Hoppers navigational computer is specifically designed to spot and guide the vessel to suitable Landing Zones (LZs) to quickly allow the deployment of marines.
