[edit] General Overview

The Vendetta entered service during the Dominion War, and went through a rapid development and deployment phase in the opening months of the war. Until the outbreak of hostilities’ the Vendetta program was delayed due to continued debates over the role of fighter in Starfleet. Heavy losses in the opening of the war spurred Starfleet to approve and prioritize the program in 2372. To Starfleet’s surprise the plans were gone. The Maquis had a spy in R&D steal any potential designs beneficial to the Maquis.
The Vendetta is loosely based on an aerowing design, which is suitable for limited atmospheric flight. The smoothed aerowing surface encases the twin warp nacelles and impulse engines. The cockpit incorporates features similar to a standard shuttlecraft, with additional mission specific equipment, and the incorporation of a manual steering column. The cockpit also incorporates an emergency transporter system for the flight crew. The two-man crew is composed of a pilot and gunner station, both working in tandem to maximize the Vendetta’s systems. The flight suits the crew wears provide reserve life-support functions, and there has been no accommodations made for crew relaxation or rest outside of their flight seats. The Vendetta’s is small enough to operate from a standard shuttlebay, and it can also dock using the ventral docking port, which also serves as the crews’ primary hatch.
