BRAD'S COMMENTS: Seen in both Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the S-Series travel pod supposedly has landing capability--at least according to the FASA texts. I am hard-pressed to determine how such a diminutive craft could survive the stresses of re-entry, much less muster the thrust necessary to reach planetary orbit. Pragmatically, the travel pod is a space taxi, seen on-screen ferrying crew from orbital office and construction complexes to docking ports on the exterior hulls of moored starships. The S-Series also might be though of as a forerunner to the TNG-era Shuttle Pod, both in terms of size and in terms of relative mission capability. In gameplay, the S-Series is purely a companion piece to the R-1 series space stations and the larger orbital bases such as the Spacedock. The S-Series has no offensive weaponry and no superstructure to speak of, making it arguably the most vulnerable craft in the entire FASA gaming system.

S-Series Travel Pod
NOTES: Built from the original specifications of the S-10 travel pod, the
S-11 repair pod is capable of effecting standard equipment repairs to exterior
station systems and spacecraft. The S-11 comes in two types: manned or
remotely operated. The latter variant lacks cargo capability because its
additional computer systems take up the space previously dedicated to bulk
storage.
The S-12 medical pod was developed for use aboard the
R-1 Mercy orbital medical centers. Medics use it if beaming proves too
hazardous for patients or wounded. The intensive care unit directly behind
the pilot's seat can be set for low or zero-gravity conditions.
