Description and Notes
First encountered by Starfleet personnel during the negotiations for the Barzan wormhole in 2366. Ferengi shuttlepods are small, compact starships, barely larger than twice the size of a Starfleet Type 15 shuttlepod, but equipped to make it far more independent than those short-range shuttlepods.

Like all Ferengi craft, the standard specifications for a shuttlepod are relatively difficult to gauge.  The Ferengi emphasis on avarice and wealth tends to lead owners of the ships to retrofit their ships with highly specialised systems, and it is not unusual to find models with enhanced engines, drive systems and even tactical systems, depending on the owner.

It is, however, one of the more versatile vessels in the Ferengi fleet, and various shuttlepods have been encountered both as a shuttlecraft operating out of Marauder class vessels, and as long range vessels operating independently. 

The standard design does have quite a high power output for crew -- this is primarily due to the luxurious conditions fitted within even the cramped quarters for the shuttlepod's crew, up to and including replicators.

Note that these craft can differ widely from owner to owner, and it would not be out of line to assume that each shuttle encountered is different. Simply use these stats as a starting point and build from there, altering whatever systems suit you. If trying to gauge costs for a Raiders, Renegades and Rogues campaign, please let me know what you come up with so I can update the profile.

Emergency power is based on a discussion on the TrekRPG mailing list where emergency power was recommended as a flat 10% of the standard power supply. Designed to keep minimal systems functioning in case of catastrophic failure, the power is supplied from induction batteries and the time limit is the batteries' life under optimal conditions without a power source to recharge from.
