Tellarite Shuttle

History:
The small vessel of the Tellarite bounty hunter Skalaar, it was the size of a large shuttle with a
longer central cargo area than was standard. To each side, just to the rear of the cockpit, were hatches that allowed docking with
other vessels and egress on landing. At the stern were four green-glowing warpdrive exhausts, while sensor arrays were mounted on the
flanks and at each side of the cockpit, ahead of the doors were weapons pods.
In 2153, Skalaar captured Jonathan Archer to claim
the Klingon bounty on him and buy back his freighter the Tesla. When the ship was damaged in a fire-fight with Kago-Darr, a rival
bounty hunter, Archer helped to repair the vessel. He managed to persuade Skalaar that the Klingons had treated him unfairly in
taking and stripping the Tesla. He agreed to lend Archer a lockpick to aid his escape and to contact Enterprise once he had claimed
his reward.
