RIP, Runabouts 

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

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

Runabouts and Mirandas = the redshirts of the fleet

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

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

"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."

The title is witty and editing job amazing as usual. 👏🙏🏼👏

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.

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.

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

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

Don't worry, Voyager has infinite replacements.

Donations in lieu of flowers?

Runahabagos are the best in 24th century camping. 😂

Federation shields suck.

It's a stupid name for a ship class.
