Fleetness

The Fleetness was a shuttle that belonged to the Zephrytes in the early 2270s decade.

In 2270, the Fleetness was one of the many vessels docked at Deep Space Station S-8, before they could head towards Baldur III due to the "gold rush" created from the discovery of vast quantities of pergium on the planet.

After sabotage attempts were made to various vessels docked, and an explosion on Deep Space Station S-8, Starfleet Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu issued a temporary lockdown until the security issues were resolved. When the Lucky Strike violated the lockdown and began to head towards Baldur III, via the Antares maelstrom, Lieutenant Sulu commandeered the shuttle to pursue the Lucky Strike.

While the Fleetness was built for speed, it wasn't built for endurance and was considered flimsy by Starfleet standards. When Sulu was forced to enter the Antares maelstrom the shuttle took a beating, and the shields wouldn't last long enough for Sulu to leave the maelstrom. Sulu send out a mayday to the Lucky Strike, and was beamed away just before the shuttle was destroyed.
