BRAD'S COMMENTS: The "S-20" shuttle design is actually identified as a Type 7 shuttle in Rick Sternbach's TNG Technical Manual. FASA's schematic interpretation is actually pretty close to the mark, with very few differences, and then only in the details. According to Sternbach, this design actually possesses limited warp capability, though not on the same level as a true warp shuttle like the Vulcan warp sled seen in ST:TMP or FASA's SW-21 model featured in the same TNG Offcier's Manual from which I drew the stats for the S-20. Like almost all shuttles, the S-20 has no combat capability, though the TNG Technical Manual indicates that the Type 7 can carry two "type V phasers" for special operations. Thus I built out stats for such a craft, in addition to the single type FASA created. Neither presents any kind of credible offensive threat, and in the case of the Mk III model, the phasers are absolutely weapons of last resort.
From the FASA Star Trek: The Next
Generation Officer's Manual, circa 1988
S-20 Standard Administrative Shuttle
NOTES: The S-20 represents the newest generation of shuttlecraft in
service to Starfleet. Built to replace the aging S-7 and S-10 models, the
S-20 takes full advantage of the new FMIB-3 micro-impulse engine, trading
minimal increases in space allocation for increased power and maneuverability.
Starfleet Command recently rejected a Zaranite proposal to arm the S-20,
continuing the centuries-old Federation policy of not army administrative
shuttles. They opted instead to strengthen the vessel's navigational
deflector system for improved shielding capability. The S-20 has won high
praise in both military and civilian circles for its versatility and endurance.
Its environmental and life support systems are of modular design, simplifying
modification for particularly hazardous duty when no parent craft is present.
The shuttle's new computer systems are also capable of linking with standard
starbase and ground navigational control systems.
