The Ferengi shuttle (also sometimes referred to as a Ferengi pod) was a short-range auxiliary vehicle utilized by prominent businessmen in the Ferengi Alliance during the 24th century.
Ferengi shuttles were warp capable vessels said to be fast enough to outrun a Romulan interceptor. These vessels were known to vary in size and could be outfitted with phasers and deflector shields.
Typically these shuttles had a small control area in the front, with rudimentary sleeping quarters, and cargo hold in the back. They were also equipped with such creature comforts as a waste extraction unit and a replicator. (VOY: "False Profits"; DS9: "Little Green Men") The shuttle had room to transport from as few as two, to as many as eight occupants. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")
Introduced prior to 2366, these vessels were the standard shuttle-type found aboard D'kora-class Marauders. Simultaneously, these vessels were also owned on an individual basis: Grand Nagus Zek had a personal shuttle, as did FCA Liquidator Brunt and Ferengi entrepreneur Quark. These shuttles were also known to exist in the mirror universe. (TNG: "The Price")
- According to the non-canon Star Trek Customizable Card Game, this type of ship was called the "Na'Far-class". [1]
