BRAD'S COMMENTS: The Danube Class did not appear until the debut of ST:DS9, where it would function as that series' primary starship type until the arrival of the prototype Defiant. As ships go, the Danube is kind of hard to place. It's arguably the smallest operational Federation starship in the Starfleet inventory, being not much more than an oversized shuttlecraft with warp capability. It is also armed; always with phasers, but sometimes too with torpedoes when the "roll bar" weaponry pod is in place. It is this armament that distinguishes the Danube from being a mere warp shuttle, along with its sensor suite and science equipment. In many ways the Danube is in a category by itself, being an entirely new breed of ship that the Trek universe had never seen prior to ST:DS9. For the sake of coherency in the STSSTCS setting, however, I have decided to list the Danube with other ships of its size and capability: cutters and corvettes. The closest thing to the Danube that FASA ever came up with was the Scorpio, which like the Danube is a micro-sized warp-capable ship with some degree of armament. When building stats for the Danube, I used the Scorpio as a starting point, assuming that the Danube is the 24th century answer to the 23rd century corvette.
