Official Starships Reveals Runabout and Cardassian Hideki Craft

Star Trek The Official Starships Collection has released images and details of its next two issues. Issue #32 is a Starfleet Runabout and Issue #33 is a Cardassian Hideki class.

Larger than regular shuttlecraft, the Danube-class Runabout was an essential component of 24th-century Starfleet space stations. Three Runabouts of this type were assigned to the station Deep Space 9 in 2369 – the U.S.S. Ganges, U.S.S. Yangtzee Kiang and U.S.S. Rio Grande. The version featured here is the Orinoco, and includes the additional rollbar. The design and use of this high-warp capable starship is explored in the magazine, along with insights and early concepts from senior production illustrator Rick Sternbach.
