Tellarite shuttle

The Tellarite shuttle was a type of shuttlecraft used by the Tellarites in the mid-22nd century. It was capable of landing on a planet's surface, and had numerous armaments. 
In the late 2140s, a Tellarite named Skalaar had his ship, the Tezra, impounded by the Klingon Empire. To pay the impound fees, he became a bounty hunter, and used a Tellarite shuttle. He carried aboard his shuttle buoys that were capable of emitting a false warp signature. This allowed the shuttle to launch one when someone was after it, and they wouldn't be able to tell which was the shuttle and which was the buoy. 
He used his shuttle to transport Captain Jonathan Archer back to the Klingons. ()

The interior was scripted to be "Cramped and lived-in. In many ways, it resembles a one-room apartment... a GALLEY is off to one side [....] In the aft section, there's a makeshift CELL [...] [with] a series of hi-tech, interlocking bars." Obviously, the script also described controls, such as for the helm, as being outside the cell.
The interior of Skalaar's shuttle was a redress of the Class 2 shuttle set from .
