Sovereign Class Yacht

The Sovereign Class Yacht was designed for use on the Sovereign Class Starship. When not in use, the shuttle is usually docked to the under-side of the Sovereign's Saucer. It's primary functions are Diplomatic Missions and long-range / long-duration away missions.

Although it has a single deck, it's layout offers the best possible comfort for it's passengers and crew. Based on the layout of the Danube Class Runabout, it has been sectioned into 3 parts, all of which are accessible via a small corridor. The rear section contains mission-relative equipment, access to a small under-carriage cargo area and overhead storage areas. The middle section has 4 small staterooms small, bathrooms, replicator, and seating for up to 10 people. The front section contains the flight control consoles.

Unlike most runabouts and shuttles, the Sovereign Class Yacht has a dorsal docking port with drop-down ladder, located in the middle section. This is due to the unique way it is able to dock with it's ship. It also has a door in the cockpit which allows the crew to easily leave the craft when landed.
