Description:

The Civil Operations variant is an updated adjustment in the layout of the Danube class runabout for missions requiring a Civil Operations team and supporting personnel for missions that include Engineering, Operations, Medical, Security, Science, and any other additional personnel that may go along. This came about as the result of for the need to deploy small teams of personnel while ships were scarce. Star Fleet Engineers redesigned and refit the runabout interior and propulsion systems to increase the speed and survivability as best they could, while meeting mission needs. Space can be a bit cramped but part of the need for additional storage was compensated for with the installation of In Floor storage and lounge tables and stools that could collapse seamlessly into the floor for quick stowage.
