USS Banff (NCC-74752)

The USS Banff (NCC-74752) was a Yellowstone class runabout assigned to the USS Prometheus (NX-59650) in the late 24th century in leiu of a Captain's yacht and larger shuttle (i.e. a Type-11 Shuttlecraft).

Like all Yellowstone class runabouts the USS Banff is an upgraded version of the Danube class runabout. On an individual level the USS Banff is visually identical to a Danube class runabout with a sensor pod attached.

Ideally, a runabout was piloted by two crewmembers, although one pilot would suffice. The pilots' consoles faced forward upon two large portholes. The cockpit had stations for up to four crewmembers. The two large portholes were equipped with retractable blast shutters. Small square viewscreens mounted within the forward corners of the cabin were used for video communication and ship status displays.

The rear of the USS Banff was configured as a crew cabin complete with sleeping and dining areas, a small head with sonic shower, and a small aft cargo hold. Located between the two wing pylons, the replacable modules of the USS Banff are an infirmary module and science lab module.

The USS Banff is equipped with two manual escape hatch, located near the front port and starboard sides of the vehicle. A small Jefferies tube was also present, immediately underneath the warp core that ran along the spine of the vessel.
