RIP, Runabouts

Runabouts participated in many crucial Starfleet missions in the late 24th century. Unfortunately, these tiny starships were frequently lost in the line of duty. In this Star Trek video, we document the runabouts which were destroyed, abandoned, or otherwise lost during TNG, DS9, and Voyager.
Dedicated to the memory of the Yangtze Kiang, the Ganges, the Mekong, the Orinoco, the Yukon, the Shenandoah, the Gander, the Yellowstone, and the other unnamed but no less heroic runabouts that made the ultimate sacrifice.

“At the rate we’re going through runabouts, it’s a good thing Earth has so many rivers” - Kira Nerys

I mean, where she is right, she's right. Earth DOES have a LOT of rivers😂😂

Congo, Nile, Thames, Mississippi, Amazon, Zambezi, Rhine, Bow, Sepik, Indus, Tigris and Ob to name but a few more.

I was hoping that quote would be included. I wasn't disappointed. XD

The USS Rio Grande is underrated; the only ship assigned to DS9 not to get destroyed.

Runabouts and Mirandas = the redshirts of the fleet

@theoneyoudontsee8315 3 ай бұрын

it's about ships that was never a flagship class or heavy cruiser get "wrecked" doing important or hard missions and a heavy shuttle that gets "popped off" by just about any military ship alone or small groups. at least red shirts get a chance at a fair fight!

If i ever find myself in the 24th century, hopefully Starfleet is kind and lends me a Runabout to explore the wonders of the galaxy

...I hadn't completely realized just how many of these they lost.

@JohnDiMarco 3 ай бұрын

Yup, sometimes they burned through runabouts so fast that we didn't even get a name for the poor ship.

Voyager lost way more shuttles.

"Sisko to Ops - prepare two runabouts for launch. I'll be in the Rio Grande and taking O'Brien, Worf, & Odo with me. Put one of those new Academy graduates in command of the Gowanus Canal and assign one goldshirt each from the Engineering & Security duty rosters."

Newtown Creek, Rockaway, Massapequa, Narraskatuck, etc, etc. - Long Island alone could provide DS9 with runabouts for 30 years or more!

They might as wel have called them shuttles for all the good they were worth.

All hail USS Rio Grande. The only runabout that always survived to fight another day.

@captainspire9094 2 ай бұрын

The USS Voyager had at least five times these many runabouts in their bays.

DSN couldn't find one good excuse to use the back end of a runabout. They had to use it as s nebula class quarters and a landed ship's interior.

@ReaverLordTonus 3 ай бұрын

I'd like to think that the Runabout was retired and replaced with the Delta Flyer.

@TheMultiGunMan 3 ай бұрын

I think we should just go ahead and BAN all Carogans from piloting the Runabouts.

@randallwong7196 3 ай бұрын

Don't worry, Voyager has infinite replacements.
