Auxiliary Craft

Created by Captain Isaac Rhodes on Tue Jul 12th, 2022 @ 6:45pm

The Thejal is equipped with a number of auxiliary craft meant to assist the crew in carrying out their mission. These range from the smaller, single-occupant maintenance craft to standard personnel shuttles. Most are launched, recovered, stored, and maintained in the main shuttlebay at the bow of the ship or one of the two secondary bays located port and starboard toward the rear of the saucer section.

Although the type and combination of auxiliary craft is ultimately determined by the commanding officer, with input from the chief flight operations officer, and can vary from ship to ship, the standard number of craft carried by the Constellation-class is as follows:

• 6 shuttlecraft
• 6 maintenance craft

Below is information on the specific craft currently assigned to the Thejal.

Class G shuttlecraft (6)



The Class G shuttlecraft was first introduced in the early 2270s as part of the Constitution-class refit project to meet the need for updated shuttlecraft design and functionality. Internally, these craft bore many similarities to their predecessors in that there were two forward-facing seats in the cockpit and a semi-modular space in the main cabin. Typical configuration for this area consisted of inward facing bench seats with open space for standing personnel or equipment along the center.

Class G shuttlecraft assigned to the Thejal are named for notable stars and constellations.

• Sirius
• Vega
• Rigel
• Hadar
• Antares
• Castor

Workbee-class maintenance craft (6)



The Workbee-class maintenance craft is a stand-alone craft used for the assembly, repair, and inspection of hardware. A pair of robotic manipulator arms is folded beneath the main housing and allows for work to be done through pilot-manipulated controls. In addition, the Workbee is capable of utilizing an attachment that makes it ideal for transferring cargo.
