The Argo Class is a Starfleet auxiliary support craft attached normally to starships and stations to be used for long range missions. This class is designated as a runabout type vessel as it mainly built to be operated by more then two people for longer term missions duration.
The Argo class was first designed in 2377 in attempt to deploy equipment, and officers to planetary surfaces in large numbers when transporters were unavailable. The Argo was designed with integrated warp nacelles and bendable wings. These wings were designed to assist in atmospheric manoeuvrability. The Argo has a very powerful micro fusion generator to power its impulse and thruster drives through all planetary atmospheres.
