Utilizing the variety of craft belonging to the Runabout Task Forces, these ships can be used for deployment when establishing Base Camps, or Colonizing new areas. A Task Force is an assembly of different vehicles needed to complete a specified task or mission. A Runabout Task Force would be made up of five or more Runabouts, consisting of one of each variation listed below (ie: 1 ground assault, 1 medical, one Command Center version, etc). Since Runabouts are Completely Modular vessels. The Modules could either be removed from the Runabouts and used to form "fixed" structures, or could be left aboard the Runabouts and the ships themselves could be converted into structures. There would be little need to beam building supplies until a later stage of development when the base of operations, the plantary system, and the sector are deemed safe for a more permanant presence. If at any time the base is compromised or its presence discovered before planetary defenses can be set up, the Runabout Task Force merely breaks camp and under the cover of Independence and her sister ships, can evacuate safely.<br> | Utilizing the variety of craft belonging to the Runabout Task Forces, these ships can be used for deployment when establishing Base Camps, or Colonizing new areas.

MFS INDEPENDENCE NCC-1865 |
|
This is a modified Miranda class Cruiser retofitted in the Badlands. Deck 6 and 7 have been virtuallly gutted to make way for a much more expansive shuttle bay. This allows the Carrier to ferry a variety of smaller craft providing both protection within her hull for transport, as well as providing orbital cover while making landing operations.
MFS Independence and her two sister ships, MFS Michael Eddiington, and MFS Shakaar are capable of carrying seven Danube class Runabouts, two Maquis fighters, as well as two standard Type 6, and two advanced Type 11 shuttlecraft.
Utilizing the variety of craft belonging to the Runabout Task Forces, these ships can be used for deployment when establishing Base Camps, or Colonizing new areas. A Task Force is an assembly of different vehicles needed to complete a specified task or mission. A Runabout Task Force would be made up of five or more Runabouts, consisting of one of each variation listed below (ie: 1 ground assault, 1 medical, one Command Center version, etc). Since Runabouts are Completely Modular vessels. The Modules could either be removed from the Runabouts and used to form "fixed" structures, or could be left aboard the Runabouts and the ships themselves could be converted into structures. There would be little need to beam building supplies until a later stage of development when the base of operations, the plantary system, and the sector are deemed safe for a more permanant presence. If at any time the base is compromised or its presence discovered before planetary defenses can be set up, the Runabout Task Force merely breaks camp and under the cover of Independence and her sister ships, can evacuate safely.
