Summary
An auxiliary craft manufactured specifically for Nova-class survey vessels,
Vincenzo is a Waverider atmospheric shuttlecraft designed to facilitate close quarters examination and survey of planetary bodies by science personnel aboard the ship. At under 20 meters in length, the vessel is small enough to be carried by the petite Nova-class yet large enough to be useful. It is designed to operate in atmospheric conditions and is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 12. It is very fuel efficient at Mach 5 and above, making use of the conventional propulsion with back-up impulse and RCS thrusters for maneuvering in space. Unlike ordinary shuttlecraft, the Waverider does not enter the ship's main and auxiliary shuttlebays; instead, it idocks into a recessed port within the ventral portion of the primary hull just forward of the main sensor dome. Access to the Waverider is provided by a hatchway inside the ship and a ladder-equipped hard umbilical. It is not warp capable.
