The Sphinx-class shuttlecraft was a Federation Starfleet shuttlecraft type in service in the 24th century. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)

History[]

The Sphinx-class was introduced into service sometime in the late-2350s, with hundreds being constructed. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)

Specifications[]

The Sphinx-class was designed as a cargo shuttle. It was equipped with deflector shields, offering it some protection if necessary, and was capable of planetary landing. Sub-light propulsion was generated by a micro-impulse engine powered by three FMIB-3 impulse reactors. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)

At 45m long, 80m wide and 16m high, the shuttle had a mass of 5,200 metric tonnes and was unarmed. It could accommodate two flight crew, 4 passengers and 100 standard cargo units or 5,000mt of cargo in four trailing cargo pods. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)

Notes[]

Given the schematic views provided in the TNG Officer's Manual, there appears to be an error concerning the craft's dimensions, the stats for length and width appear to have been switched.
