The second offshoot of the Delta Flyer, the Flyer-class was intended as a multi-purpose craft along the lines of a large heavy duty shuttle.
The Flyer-class was built to be 21 meters long, 12 meters wide and 5.3 meters high.
In combat situations, it was used as a scout ship. The ship is roomy and fast enough to do interstellar trips. The hull of the Flyer-class was highly aerodynamic, and was composed of tetraburnium alloys with duranium reinforcements and parametallic plating.
Onboard tactical systems[]
The ship carried 6 dual-mounted Type-VII phaser banks, 2 Type-VIII pulse phaser cannons, and 2 variable-use mini-torpedo launchers. It has a payload of 18 quantum mini-torpedoes and 2 quantum torpedoes ensconsed in its ventral torpedo pod.
Propulsion[]
Equipped with the enhanced warp drive of the Khronnians, Flyers assigned to Vanguard Command could attain and sustain a normal cruise speed of Warp 7 and a maximum sustained speed of Warp 8.5.
Accommodation[]
The layout was fairly conventional - a large four-person cabin occupied the forward compartment. The engineering section was located in the larger aft compartment, which could also fit two pairs of stacking bunk beds, a small cargo bay, a retractable biobed, and a two-person transporter, along with the various systems usually associated with a vessel of this type.
