Description and Notes
Fleet data: The Andes-class
shuttles are fixed configuration shuttles designed to supplement ships with
extended mission profiles. The Andes-class shuttle is the first line
production vessel to use information that was transmitted by the crew of the U.S.S.
Voyager and based heavy on Borg- inspired weaponry and designs, along with
several additional enhancements that have occurred within Starfleet.
The Andes
have just been put into use and have been designed to act as mid- range scouting
vessels. The first of these new shuttles has been assigned to the Hawkins-class
Deep Explorers to assist in its mission of exploration.
As
the Danube-class had taken their names from rivers, the majority of the Andes-class
take their name from mountain ranges.
Noteworthy vessels / service records / encounters: U.S.S. Andes, prototype; U.S.S. Appalachians, assigned to U.S.S. Justice.
Editor's Notes
Far be it for me to dissuade readers from using a vessel named after the region
I grew up in, but note that the U.S.S. Appalachia is a Steamrunner-class
starship in The Price of Freedom: The United Federation of Planets
Sourcebook, so a shuttle named Appalachians may cause some
confusion.
