Ferengi shuttle

The Ferengi shuttle (also sometimes referred to as a Ferengi pod) was a fast warp-capable shuttlecraft used as an auxiliary vehicle and utilized by prominent businessmen in the Ferengi Alliance during the 24th century.

History
Introduced prior to 2366, these vessels were the standard shuttle-type found aboard Marauders. In 2366, one of these vessels – with two Ferengi on it – became trapped in the Delta Quadrant following the collapse of the Barzan wormhole. 

These vessels were also simultaneously owned on an individual basis: Grand Nagus Zek had a personal shuttle, as did FCA Liquidator Brunt and Ferengi entrepreneurs Gaila and Quark. (, etc). These shuttles were also known to exist in the mirror universe. 

Technical data
Ferengi shuttles were extremely fast and durable warp-capable vessels, fast enough to outrun Romulan interceptors and capable of flying half way through the Milky Way Galaxy before even needing a maintenance checkup. It was possible to exceed the maximum safe cruising speed by 0.3 warp factors. These vessels were known to be outfitted with phasers and deflector shields. 

Interior design
Typically these shuttles had a small control area – cockpit or bridge – in the forward section, with rudimentary sleeping quarters, and cargo hold in the aft section. They were also equipped with such creature comforts as a waste extraction unit and a replicator. The shuttle had room to transport from as few as two, to as many as eight occupants.
