History: The Rubicon Class was developed to replace the Danube and Nile class runabouts, as well as the Peregrine and Ju'Day Class Fighters, with the intention to do the missions of all of them using some new advances in technology, such as advanced AI, a new dual-mode series of Phaser Strips, and a miniaturised version of the Type 2 Deflector Shield System.
The Runabouts will gradually replace the older vessels over the next twenty years, and will themselves be replaced by the Shadowdancer Class Runabouts in the 2450.
