	The '''''Hubble''''' runabout was one of the first adaptations of modern lightweight warp engines for [[Star Fleet]]’s high speed liaison needs. At the time the class was created, the starbase network of the [[UFP]] was only gradually taking shape, with a base built per five years or so. Distances separating the starbases were considerable, and the mission of runabouts was not one of shuttling between the bases. Instead, the small liaison craft were supposed to extend the range of local operations around a starbase, moving crews and supplies between starports and planets in the vicinity of the base.
