HistoryEdit

Introduced prior to 2366, these vessels were the standard shuttle-type found aboard D'Kora-class Marauders. In 2366, one of these vessels - with two Ferengi on it - became trapped in the Delta Quadrant following the collapse of the Barzan wormhole. (TNG: "The Price")

These vessels were also simultaneously owned on an individual basis: Grand Nagus Zek had a personal shuttle, as did FCA Liquidator Brunt and Ferengi entrepreneurs Gaila and Quark. (DS9: "The Nagus", etc). These shuttles were also known to exist in the mirror universe. (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak")

In its initial appearance in "The Price" a Ferengi shuttle was depicted to be of similar size with a Starfleet type 15 shuttlepod. The same Ferengi shuttle was seen again in VOY: "False Profits" as a much larger craft. This is also the case with most of the other appearances indicating the shuttle to be only slightly smaller than a Starfleet runabout.

Technical dataEdit

Ferengi shuttles were extremely fast and durable warp-capable vessels, fast enough to outrun Romulan interceptors and capable of flying half way through the Milky Way Galaxy before even needing a maintenance checkup. It was possible to exceed the maximum safe cruising speed by 0.3 warp factors. (DS9: "Little Green Men") These vessels were known to be outfitted with phasers and deflector shields. (VOY: "False Profits")

Interior designEdit

Typically these shuttles had a small control area – cockpit or bridge – in the forward section, with rudimentary sleeping quarters, and cargo hold in the aft section. (DS9: "Little Green Men") They were also equipped with such creature comforts as a waste extraction unit and a replicator. (VOY: "False Profits") The shuttle had room to transport from as few as two, to as many as eight occupants. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")
