Tripper class

The Tripper-class was a common type of transport starship used in the 23rd century.

History and specifics
The Tripper-class was in use in hundreds of star systems within and outside of the Federation. It was between 30-40 feet tall and featured two prominent aft engine exhaust ports.

In 2273, a run-down, old Vegan Tripper-class transport was flown by Klingon political refugees Chetar and her brother into the star system containing the planet  at 0.139 of light speed. It was in such fragile shape that it started to break up when restrained by a tractor beam from the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). After a bomb squad led by Thobo inspected the filthy vessel while wearing EV suits, it was brought onto the starship's hangar deck for repairs, nearly filling the whole bay. Montgomery Scott replaced its broken flow sensors and a repair crew made it spaceworthy. Chetar and Morg departed in the repaired vessel.
