In Star Trek? Ships built for extremely high warp, used to transport equipment and personnel across large distances such as DS9 to Earth etc. They can do 10,000c (Warp 9.99+) for about a week according to Rick Sternbach, maybe a month if we burn out the engines.

359... The attack fighters from SofA, which we're now assuming are Peregrines were definately warp capable, and were keeping up with the fleet just fine. However, in "Heart of Stone", the only time the name Peregrine appeared, it was called an "Interceptor" and was ran down quite easily by a Runabout, despite it having modified engines. Interceptors by definition are fast ships as well. IMHO the Peregrine is a fast ship, maybe not up on a par with the two weeks @ 9.9 bit, but for some reason in HoS it was severely slowed by a malfunction in the Plot Device Drive.

I remember them saying Courier when they described the Peregrine, of course, this was about 4 months ago, but I remember it because it was the only mention of Peregrine. Any want to go check?

Well, the slow ship in HoS could have had its engines damaged when the Maquis stole it. They didn't exactly have the greatest resources in the galaxy...

Anyone consider the possibility that power was siphoned from the engines? I mean, for such a small ship to have a powerful punch, power may needed to be siphoned out to the phasers, shields, etc. Or even life support.
Side note: in Voyager's Caretaker, we saw a Peregrine use the power from the Torpedo launchers to the engines to help them get into the Badlands.

Don't be hasty to call the ship a Peregrine. We've all agreed that there are 4 possibilities for this class - the Academy trainer (unlikely), the Type-C ship, small and large versions (the latter being Chakotay's ship), and the Type-D ship seen in "Preemptive Strike" and "SofA" - the most likely candidate IMNSHO.
I think we can rule out that it's the Bajoran fighter seen in "PreE Strike" and elsewhere, or the Bajoran sub-impulse raider!

Someone (Sternbach, IIRC) suggested that SF's attack fighters from SoA are Peregrines. Since I agree that they are the most likely candidates (excluding the possibility that we have never seen Peregrines, which no-one seems willing to accept), and we have semi-official confirmation, I guess I'll go w/ that...
