![]() ![]() ![]() She wasn't Starfleet, so she shouldn't have had access, but she clearly did.įurther investigation reveals that it has been exposed to intense gamma radiation resulting from a close proximity to Orellius Minor, a nearby star. However, Alixus had contacted the Runabout and either beamed aboard and/or programmed it to fly into a star. Sisko expected his runabout to patiently be waiting for him in orbit. Alixus emerges and admits that she destroyed the runabout and even helped invent the device that created the duonetic field in the first place. However, when Sisko attempts to contact their runabout, he finds it missing. The Runabout is essentially "hijacked" and sent off to be destroyed in the DS9 episode ) by an anti-technology hippie, who is on the planet. Sisko and O'Brien beam down to a planet leaving the Runabout in orbit unmanned. As shown in the diagrams below, should the need arise for Emergency Egress, the entire warp engine section may be jettisoned, freeing all the Modules for independent flight.You can lockout the bridge functions in a Runabout, as seen in "The Jem'Hadar", however, those security measures aren't always in place, as seen in "Paradise.", which almost exactly describes the scenario you asked about. The Cockpit and each module may be used as Emergency Escape Pods, complete with independent Life Support systems, RCS Thrusters and Combat Rations. This affords a somewhat roomier cockpit area, more work stations, and a larger crew complement. The Lorimar class is slightly longer than the standard Danube Class Runabout. The compartment modules fit neatly inside and lock into place for optimum refit capability. They are compatible with standard Starfleet multi-use compartment modules and are much easier than even the conventional Runabouts being that the warp engines and wings feature a "gull" design which swing open for easy access to the interior. Lorimar Class Runabouts utilize the same "modular" construction in regard to interior makeup. The Lorimar class will be able to be reconfigured with equipment and instrumentation which can be used for a variety of tasks and missions. In addition to a new computer core, the vessel also utilizes bioneural gelpacks in place of the slower and less effective isolinear chips. The vessel is controlled by a single Trojan Drop ship computer core, which affords greater processing power and speed. There are several experimental configurations implemented into the new Lorimar Class Runabout. In addition, to Lorimar's innovative approaches to several key design changes, he also implemented some design ideas suggested by Advanced Theoretical Technologies Unit engineer Matthew McLaren. The sleeker, state of the art design borrows elements from the latest shuttle craft, Delta Flyer prototype, and traditional Runabouts. This experimental class is everything the current Danube Class ships are plus much, much more. This project quickly took on a life of it's own as the CEO Robert Lorimar struck upon the idea of implementing several new technological developments and design changes into an entirely unique Runabout design. with a significant shortage of available Runabouts throughout the fleet as a result of losses sustained during the Federation Civil War, it was decided that the Engineering crew of the USS Boudicca would replicate and assemble a replacement for the Danube Class Runabout. With the loss of a Danube class Runabout during a a mission to infiltrate an ancient alien planet killer called the Doomsday machine, the USS Boudicca found itself short on its auxiliary ship compliment. ![]()
