Another of the unsung heroes of Starfleet. Of course these are the real navy, those prima donnas in their Akiras, Galaxies and Sovereigns are just a bunch of prissy good-for-nothing, work shy glory hounds who get to saunter around the universe whilst we .....(mutter) ....

DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
The Goblin-class Fleet Tug has often been described as one of the graceful looking vessels in Starfleet, an appearance the belies it's rugged strength. The saucer section is some 50% wider than it is long and is mounted directly onto the front of the engineering section where the navigational deflector is placed in other Starfleet designs. The deflector is mounted directly in the tip of the saucer's nose with the forward impulse engine ports mounted on either side. Streamlined sponsons fitted on the side of the engineering hull hold the 2 main impulse engines towards the rear of the ship, merging forward into the saucer section. The 4 small warp nacelles are mounted on retractable pylons angled forward from the rear of the impulse engines. During atmospheric flight, landing and close quarters towing work the nacelles are retracted to prevent damage.
The Goblin-class is a tough little design mounting excessive SIF and hull bracing to allow for the strain of towing vessels far larger than itself. It also helps when bumping into heavy masses, whether intentionally or not. It is often joked that a Goblin could be run over by a Borg Cube, picked up, dusted down and be back at work with no more than a few scuffs and nicks. In 2373 the warp drive was upgraded to the current Type 5E6 model, adding the 2 ventral nacelles, so as to enable the Goblin-class vessels to keep up with the fleet and to be able to quickly tow crippled ships away from danger. The only change to the tactical systems to accompany this more dangerous role was to upgrade the shield protection to the maximum available for Class 2 generators, otherwise the Goblin-class remains unchanged.
DEVELOPER'S NOTES
The ramming hull isn't really intended to be used for ramming. It represents the extra bracing required for a tug, although it provides the standard (and dubious) benefits of a ramming hull. The forward facing impulse engine is intended to give the Goblin-class greater control of towing large loads allowing it to more easily brake without having to manoeuvre. By the way, the retractable nacelles don't retract as such they sort of close up X-Wing style http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/biggrin.gif although this doesn't provide any performance benefit hence they're not variable-geometry.
