Runabout

Name: Runabout
Notes: A runabout is a small faster-than-light vessel, similar to a shuttlecraft, but providing for more interior space and crew amenities for extended interstellar trips. These are small, multi-purpose starships, generally the smallest vessels officially classed as a starship instead of a shuttle.
Runabouts are equipped with limited weapons and drive systems, but offer additional living space and the ability to be configured to mission-specific cargo capacities. They have a larger operational range and better weapons capability compared to shuttles. Runabouts are typically assigned to space stations or starships as auxiliary craft.
