Talarian observation craft

Talarian observation craft were a type of observation craft used by the Talarians during the mid-24th century for basic training. These ships could be operated with a crew of five.

Additional consoles with tubes of red blinking lights and joystick-like interfaces were present in the main room of the ship. An adjoining room was filled with small cargo crates.
