Early Warp Alien Shuttlecraft with adventure notes
Early Warp Alien Shuttlecraft with Adventure notes
I was digging around and found a ship that I had forgotten about with the notes from the adventure that it was used in it is a simple small craft that has little in the way of luxury. It is basically the successor to Cochran’s Phoenix and a predecessor to the NX class. The notes are at the bottom of the mission.
There was an intention of returning to the planet later but never actually materialized as the Klingon and Dominion Wars reared up. I have not included the notes about the sequel as they are incomplete and not all mine as they are also partly Dave’s my co master of ceremonies. Like always the ship is for your viewing and the notes are basically below.

Description notes:
Fleet Data: A primitive type of craft designed for long duration Exploration to a neighboring star system. The craft could travel to the neighboring system in three years and return. They were in the process of exploring the planet during the years of the construction of these vessels.
The species is generally a peaceful intent but do understand that there are dangers out there and have armed their ships with their most advanced weapons systems. They ship is as sturdy as they could make it at their level of development. Basically, they are at a point a little more advanced that present day Earth.
This particular space going craft from the adventure was specifically designed to explore the frontier and learn what was learnable. When encountered the craft was on a mission to reach the limit of the known universe as the species that created the ship lived in a nebula ten light years long, several light years across and five in depth. The craft punched through the edge of the nebula and became lost beyond the nebula as it no longer had navigational references and their radio signals no longer penetrated the outer boundary of the nebula. The craft was discovered by the Nebula class Starship USS Discovery NCC-62049 in the 2368 when it detected the craft a drift for twenty-two light years at sublight speeds from the nebula, ninety-three years after launch. The warp drive had failed after ten years when the deuterium fuel had run out the computer had deployed the solar power collectors and allowed the craft to maintain a minimal power level allowing the crew to survive.
The initial first contact was violent as they alien craft fired on the Discovery with their lasers with little effect against Starfleet Shields. The crew of the Discovery was able to eliminate their shields and beam the crew off the ship and eliminate the nominal threat they possessed. The Captain convinced the alien crew that they were no threat and learned of their travels. The Captain and crew decide to return them to their home world.
On returning them to their home world the Discovery made a peaceful first contact with the inhabitance who at first thought them to be gods but learned that they were merely living creatures like themselves. The intelligent lifeforms of the nebula had used the ships to visit their neighboring star system just over four light years away and return. When the Discovery crew returned the explorers a hundred years later the people had advanced with faster versions of the ship and had settled on the neighboring stars only habitable planet with a thriving colony.
This is a very primitive craft compared to most Star Trek ships.
