Background Information

An introduction was written for the collection by Ronald D. Moore.
In this series, the lost crewmembers are piloting a shuttlecraft named the Albert Einstein. Since there were over half-a-dozen crew and cargo, this would likely be one of the NCC-1701-D's larger personnel shuttles, but series artists used the wrong design reference and drew a type 15 shuttlepod in all exterior views. The type-15 pod has a maximum of 3 crew and a small cargo space, and could not use a warp drive as featured in this story. However, this could be construed reference to the never-seen type-16A shuttlepod featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, which has an identical platform to the type-15, but is scaled up to a larger proportion.
