History
The Glyrhond was part of a 2407 production order of 200 runabouts to replace aging  ships at locations across the Federation. However, only 178 ships were actually needed upon completion and the remaining 22, including the Glyrhond, were mothballed for later use.

Upon her assignment to command the incomplete USS Bajor in late June 2409, Captain Kanril Eleya requested a runabout be assigned to the as part of her auxiliary craft complement, in case an assignment required a more powerful platform than the standard Type 8 shuttlecraft. Starfleet Materiel Supply Command approved the requisition and the Glyrhond was officially commissioned and delivered to the 40 Eridani A Starfleet Construction Yards for use aboard the Bajor. Lieutenants Alan Chase and Belib Ellidav were assigned as pilots.

The agile runabout rapidly became Kanril's vessel of choice for away missions.
