Background
This section is written from the Real World point of view. |
The Jefferies was rendered by artist David Morton for the 2017 edition of the Ships of the Line calendars series.
Star Trek: The Original Series art director and production designer, Matt Jefferies, originally designed this teardrop-shaped shuttle for the TOS episode: "The Galileo Seven" but, due to the curved hull being expensive to reproduce, the now familiar flat-sided F-class shuttlecraft was constructed instead. (ST reference: The Art of Star Trek; Star Trek: The Magazine Issue 12: "Designing the Galileo Shuttlecraft")
- The Jefferies's hull pennants indicate that it is independantly registered (like the Danube-class runabouts of the 24th century) as, unlike auxilliary craft of starships, space stations or other installations, it doesn't have any supplemental numbering/lettering.
