The most important work pod that Star Fleet standardized after the classic B6 was the ???? by ?????, dubbed B7 in the official sequence of types. This craft retained the handling characteristics of the B6, with lots of precision arms in the front slots, and three attachment points for heavy duty arms.
The B7 was produced in two main variants, one with a physical operator cabin featuring a transparent aluminum sphere and a hinged aft ingress/egress hatch; the other had a forcefield sphere of the same dimensions. The former offered a true shirtsleeves operating environment, while regulations called for the use of a spacesuit with the latter. The ease of dropping the forcefield (after proper precautions were taken) and leaving the craft made the latter type popular with operators who wanted direct hands-on access to their tasks.
