So we've got a spaceborne, non-living thing from TNG that'd fit in spacedock. And it was only partially seen on screen. Toughie.
Is it natural?

Q12: No. 100 people wouldn't fit. At least not comfortably, or not without chopping off limbs, utilising a mincing machine or something.

Is it a Federation Shuttlecraft or Shuttlepod?

Well, cutting off limbs wouldn't constitute confortably, now would it?
Something known in the first four seasons of TNG, that'd fit inside spacedock, but holds less than 100 people. Built by the Fed, and never damaged to the best of our knowledge. I have a feeling that that partially seen thing is the key.
Oh, and it's spaceborne, meaning it's a ship, station, or probe of some sort.
Would we have known about it before the beginning of season three?
Anyone know if we ever saw all of the Remler array? That's not a question for you, Monty.

Well, that's not really what I asked. I asked whether we would have seen it before the beginning of Season 3. Of course, since we now know it was seen DURING S3, that helps. But we can't make the assumption that it wasn't seen before that.
The E-D yacht comes to mind. We only saw the underside of it, and it never suffered damage (well, until the saucer crashed, presumably).
The exec shuttlecraft from "Samaratan Snare" may be another possibility.
Question: is it the E-D's yacht?
