Type : General purpose interstellar craft

The Danube-Class Runabout was designed to complete four general mission types.

  • Short Notice and/or Emergency Response Transportation for Scientific Expeditions or Medical Personnel.
  • Act as a Base of Operations (orbital or landed) for Scientific Expeditions or Medical Response.
  • Transport personnel, intact experiment and/or cargo modules.
  • Perform tactical missions such as intelligence gathering (scouting), covert insertion/extraction of personnel, act as a deterrent of threatening situations, etc.

    The Danube-Class computer core, which measures 2.3 x 2.1 x 1.3 meters, is located under the cockpit. The core is a standard isolinear unit with 186 isolinear banks and 53 command pre-processors. Sub nodes are installed throughout the runabout and are connected to the core by standard optical data network relays.

    Warp Speeds

    Maximum Cruise : 5

    Maximum Rated : 5.8 for 12 hours.

    Diplomatic Capability : 1

    Expected Hull Life : 75

    Refit Cycle :

  • Minor : 0 year
  • Standard : 0 years
  • Major : 5 years

    The Danube features a front cabin for the crew of pilot, co-pilot/navigator and two mission specialists. A two person transporter is at the rear of the cabin, with swappable mission modules aft of this. The modular nature of the Danube allows it to be configured for missions such as personnel transport, cargo transport, scientific research, tactical, medical, etc. Above the main spaces is the warp core, which is fed by an antimatter fuel pod at the aft and its matter equivalent at the fore end. The power transfer conduits run down the bulky nacelle roots, which also contain the impulse drive reactors and various other equipment.

    The impulse engines comprise two sets of four fusion reactors, plus space-time drive coils and vectored exhaust directors. The system also includes interstellar or atmospheric intake vents and condenser-separators for fuel distillation. Control and fuel feed connections are essentially identical to any comparable impulse system. When maintenance is required, the entire assembly can be removed as a single unit.

    The vehicles twin computer core is located under the cockpit sub floor and measures 2.3 x 2.1 x 1.3 meters. It is a standard isolinear unit, with a total of 186 isolinear banks and 53 command pre-processors and data analysis units. Sub nodes distributed throughout the vehicle report to the main computer via a standard ODN system.

    Our Danube Class Runabouts are named: Lethe, Styx, Phlegethon and Acheron II.

    Lethe

    Our Medical Runabout - used by our medical team.

    Our ogininal Archeron was lost on an away mission but we replaced it with Archeron II

    We have two of our Danubes as Science Runabouts: Meet Styx and Phelgethon
