It was identified as "shuttle 13", and used the interior sets of the Type 7 shuttle, since those were the only interiors available at the time. And it was one of the few to have an expendable chauffeur and not a leading character flying it. But that's pretty much all we know about it.<br /><br />When the rest of the heroes study the situation from aboard the Enterprise, the Okudagrams show the image of an intact Type 7. However, this may be taken to merely be a standard symbol for "Starfleet Shuttlecraft", regardless of the actual type of the craft.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, this is the only TNG shuttle that was witnessed to be in independent warp transit between star systems (although only in dialogue, not in visuals). All the other shuttles in TNG puttered around at impulse, or performed their possible interstellar trips off screen AND off microphone. <br /><br />One could thus speculate that it takes a special shuttle design to perform an interstellar voyage. Types 6 and 7 probably did have warp drive, since they had nacelles, and since later shuttles of comparable design have been warp-capable. But this special shuttle may have been the TNG era runabout, capable of significantly higher warp factors.<br /><br />It is worth noting that the crashed shuttle was built in miniature form, and completely from scratch. Thus, there was no reason it COULDN'T have been an exact likeness of a Type 7 if that was the producers' intention. It is also obvious that there was NO attempt whatsoever to make it look like a type 7. The apparent "rear window" is a prominent (and runabout-like) feature that apparently deliberately completely separates the wreckage from Type 7.<br /><br />Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>newark</b> <br /><small>Member # 888</small> </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(2002,8,23,4,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 23, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:16 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Why do the nacelles of Starfleet shuttles and runabouts separate from the main body in a crash?

The designers (Richard James) carefully hid the windows up and around that central doohicky - doesn anyone know what those are for.<br /><br />It's a pity we didn't get to see any light/explosions shine throught the windows as they did on DS9 when there was a Wormwhole PROBLEM - i.e. big flash of light light also came in through the upper windows.<br /><br />It would have been nice to have seen sunshine come through the windows when the ship was landed... like in "The 37's".<br /><br />Andrew <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
