This class is said to be an early runabout. I associate the Farrugut shuttle with the Sydney Class based on structural and other similarities. One of the similarities is the placement of the registry on the left-most stern section of the shuttle's hull. Another similarity is the black "grating" seen on the stern of these ships.<br>One last point-a ship map on the USS Jenolen's bridge shows that a Sydney Class ship has three decks.<br> In the movie Generations, the Farrugut shuttle (number 4)is seen approaching and landing on the Enterprise-D primary hull. Number 4 lands parallel to a Class 6 starship shuttlecraft. Number 4 shuttle is twice the length of the class 6 starship shuttlecraft. This would make the length of the Sydney Class transport and shuttlecraft no more than 60 meters.<br> Why doesn't the Sydney Class land at one of the runabout pads at Deep Space Nine? The warp nacelles add width to the Sydney Class ship. With new dimensions, a Sydney Class ship would not be able to land due to space limitations.<br> From available evidence, the Sydney Class is a very limited ship. If not provided with warp engines, the Sydney Class ship is an upgraded shuttle with very limited range. This class can be launched from a planetary base (The Undiscovered Country) or from a starship (Generations). When a Sydney Class ship is outfitted with warp engines, the range of the ship is increased. A runabout's speed is less than that of a starship translating to longer periods spent in a ship. This could explain the multiple decks found on the USS Jenolen and the USS Nash. There are sections of the ship which are devoted to the care of the passengers.<br>Time Line-<br>2280's USS Sydney is commissioned<br>2293 Shuttle (NAR-25820)<br>2294 USS Jenolen (NCC-2010)<br>2370 USS Nash (NCC-2010-B)<br>2371 Shuttle (NCC-60597/04)<br>2375 Last known sighting of a Sydney Class ship ("Chrysalis") <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,2,23,1,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 23, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">01:23 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Er...the only problem being that what the Sydney uses for impulse engines, the shuttle uses for windows.

The modelmakers rename the USS Jenolin to USS Nash because "...there was no name in the script...". The name is said to be taken from the name of an individual in production. The USS Nash would later feature in other DS9 episodes including "Trials and Tribble-ations". Aft section is shown close-up. The close-up shows four letters-N A S H.
