![]() ![]() General description This is a standard shuttlecraft in use at least aboard ships of the Galaxy, Nebula and Intrepid classes. The "SC" in the registry obviously refers to "Starfleet Command".Ĭlass specifications Length: approx. Rick Sternbach labeled his production art of the design as "uprated Type 18 H shuttle". The similarity to the Type-9 shuttle is undeniable, but with its considerably different proportions it clearly is a new type. The shuttle is equipped with a novel ablative armor. General description Admiral Janeway uses such a shuttle on her mission to save Voyager in 2404. Berman was very fond of the noted physicist Stephen Hawking (and so am I), and he decided to name yet another shuttle for him - maybe the Type 7 had been destroyed or assigned to another ship in the meantime. In addition to several duplicate shuttlecraft numbers on the Enterprise-D, the Hawking is a duplicate name.It is possible that it is actually an upgraded version of the latter shuttle. It combines elements of the standard Type-6 shuttle and the longer shuttle from "Star Trek V". The shuttle appeared only in "Star Trek Generations".Known shuttles Hawking - Enterprise Shuttlecraft 15 General description This shuttle seems to belong to the complement of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D. This insinuates that the two tube engines are indeed warp nacelles, although no lighting effect was added to the Bussard collectors. ![]() On a perhaps more important note, the grille on the aft end of the shuttle in TOS-R: "The Doomsday Machine" is lighted red, indicating that this is supposed to be the impulse engine. The Picasso is the so far unnamed shuttle from Starbase 11 in TOS-R: "The Menagerie", the Da Vinci the one from Starbase 4 in TOS-R: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield". The shuttle named Einstein is the one that Decker steals in the remastered version of "The Doomsday Machine", according to Mike Okuda (he fixed a naming error because the original episode re-used stock footage of the meanwhile destroyed Galileo).The Director's Cut DVD of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" shows TOS shuttles at Starfleet Headquarters, one of which is named Conrad.It was not visible in the episode, though. The number "NCC-K7" was in the shuttlebay of Deep Space K-7 in DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations".The interior set appears to be larger, but I'm going with the original size. 6.7m is the length as laid out by Matt Jefferies.This could be either the name for the shuttles aboard the NCC-1701 too, or it could denote a warp-capable variant, if we insist on the Enterprise shuttles being impulse-only (although it would make no sense to give the ship such an inferior shuttle type). The starbase shuttle that appeared in TOS: "The Menagerie" was called "Class F". ![]() In TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" Lokai's shuttle is encountered in deep space, although it was reported stolen just two weeks ago. TOS: "Metamorphosis" shows our heroes on interstellar travel with the shuttle - although we may make up an explanation that their shuttle was dropped at the edge of a solar system. In TOS: "The Menagerie" a shuttle from Starbase 11 clearly pursues the Enterprise at warp. Three out of only eight TOS episodes in which shuttles were used, however, would require the shuttle to travel at warp.
