[JRF] Vehicle - Type 18 Shuttlecraft

The Type 18 was one of Starfleet's first serious attempts at a fighter/interceptor style shuttle design, starting from the much outdated 'Killer Bees' from decades prior as a base line, some of the technology that made the Defiant itself so combat effective was scaled down to be used in the fighter's design. Equipped with miniature pulse phaser cannons, two large reactors and ample shielding; while the Type 18 was not warp capable, the unconventional Impulse engines could effectively be switched to a turbo mode that would allow great bursts of speed in combat. Compared to newer fighters, the Type 18 is outdated, occupying a strange space of not being very suited to utility usage, or as a dedicated fighter with no form of beam phasers or torpedo systems. But deployed in swarms, these vessels could pick apart targets while remaining too maneuverable for larger vessels to effectively engage.
