Azhanti-class lifeboats were large emergency escape vehicles embarked on United Federation of Planets Starfleet ships in the 24th century.
They were first installed on Miranda-class light cruisers in 2319 and later on the Cheyenne class when the latter were first constructed in the 2340s. Their capacity was up to 30 passengers. (USS Cheyenne Operations Manual)
- There are apparently Jackill's blueprints for the Sanctuary-class escape pod, which may be the name of the Azhanti-class lifeboat in an alternate continuity.
Background[]
Though not named, an Azhanti-class lifeboat was the type that conveyed Benjamin Sisko, Jake Sisko and others to safety after the destruction of USS Saratoga. (DS9: "Emissary")
