Overview

The Kestrel-class Runabout is designed for longer-distance missions with a small crew. It's quick and mobile, but tougher and more dangerous than the Tiercel-class Shuttle.

Class variants

Class	Information
Kestrel class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Kestrel-class shuttle is comparable to Starfleet's Danube-class Runabout. Vessels of this type are often used by the Romulan Republic for transportation purposes and can be seen on the surface of various Alliance worlds, from Mol'Rihan to Dranuur Prime.

Abilities

Cloak

The Kestrel-class Runabout has a cloak that allows the ship to cloak when not in combat, granting stealth and a damage bonus upon decloaking.

• Cloak

Singularity
