Orbit class yacht

* Length: 78m * Width: 36m * Height: 13.5m * Decks: 4 The Orbit class was designed when it was noticed that on most ships the Captain’s yacht was seldom used for the diplomatic functions it was intended for. The ship design team went about designing what a yacht would require for diplomatic missions. The yacht looks like a full size shape at first glance. This is a deliberate choice, and for similar reasons as the Atlas-D class itself - it was deciced that a starfleet first contact vessel should look like a starfleet vessel. The interiors of the vessel are fairly conventional except that instead of science labs the saucer section has large luxury accomodations. In effect this is a glorified taxi ship although it does not lack sensors or scientific capabilities.
