Danube Class StarshipIn the Star Trek fictional universe, the Danube class is a group of small starships used by Starfleet as runabouts — vessels, small but larger than shuttlecraft, used for long-range movement of personnel and supplies. Runabouts assigned to Deep Space Nine are named for rivers on Earth. The Danube class runabout features a modular design; with the assembly of the spine, pylons, and nacelles removed, mission-specific modules can be added or changed. Known modules include various research laboratories, sensor stations, power generators, emergency habitats, more living quarters, modules containing four micro-torpedo launchers, and other weapons modules. In real life, the Danube class runabout was designed by Rick Sternbach and Jim Martin for in 1992. Known Danube class runabouts - USS Danube (NCC-72003, ex-NX-72003)
