Description: The Star Navy, and many Romulan politicians, use the Theta-class Swift Courier, an expanded and uprated long-range warp shuttle, for transporting small groups of personnel squads of elite troops, a diplomatic delegation, a senatorial fact-finding party, or the like. Though the basic accommodations are relatively rough, best suited for soldiers and their ilk, for small parties the ship’s crew can re-arrange its interior, providing more luxurious private living facilities at the expense of two-bunk troop quarters.

As befits a ship that often has to travel into or through dangerous areas to accomplish its missions, the Theta-class comes equipped with impressive firepower for such a small ship: six Type Chareth disruptors and two torpedo launchers. In fact, some ship engineers and Theta crews have criticized this design decision, noting that the ship rarely needs that much offensive power, and that the disruptor arrays occupy space the ship could better use for additional quarters, cargo transporters, and other such amenities. The Star Navy so far refuses to order any class-wide design alterations for the vessel. Rumor has it that some senators and other high-ranking officials who frequently use Thetas have stripped out two or three disruptors and replaced them with other systems.
