The Maquis fighter was a type of small and maneuverable shuttle used by the Federation and later commonly utilized by the Maquis as a fighter craft in their battle against the Cardassians.
History[]
In late 2370, Lieutenant Ro Laren used one of these ships to mount a staged "raid" against the USS Enterprise-D in order to obtain medical supplies for her Maquis cell.
The same ship was later used by Ro and Commander Riker during an aborted trap set by Starfleet to raid a Yridian convoy. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")
Technical data[]
Operational systems[]
The ship had multiple propulsion systems including thrusters, impulse and warp drives. The warp drive emitted a Federation warp signature.
Firing phasers
For defense, they were equipped with photon torpedoes, type 8 phasers, and deflector shields.
Additionally, they were equipped with a transporter system, capable of transporting objects one stationary location to another without the use of a transporter pad. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")
Interior design[]
This type of ship had a shuttle-size cockpit with seating for two, with a central display monitor between the two console stations.
The aft section of the ship contained the ship's hold, which was separated from the cockpit by a doorway, with an additional doorway beyond. The ship's transporter was located within, with the transporter controls mounted on the aft bulkhead. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")
