SD-103

SD-103 (NAR-25820) was a Federation SD-103 type transport that was in service with Starfleet in the late 23rd century, attached to Starfleet Command.

The SD-103 ferried the command crew of the USS Enterprise-A to their vessel moored in Spacedock in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

The registry number of the shuttle has never been legible in the movie, but was derived from a behind-the-scenes picture of the model that was later published in the reference book, Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission, p. 171.

The model was designed and built by Bill George and John Goodson at ILM and was later modified and reused as the USS Jenolen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation sixth season episode "Relics" in 1992. (Michael Okuda, "Departmental Briefing Year Six - Production", TNG Season 6 DVD special feature)
