The D17 Freeman is a radical reconstruction and re-purposing of a shuttlepod design that failed to meet Star Fleet's approval. The platform was modified to build an agile mobile weapons craft for both starbases and the Valkyr class shuttlecarriers, both of which operated what was perceived as aging Big Cat and non-agile fightercraft. A streamlined hull design has reduced crew capacity from the original four to two: a flight officer and weapons officer. And with the modernization of the engine systems, the craft was deemed a match for any Klingon equivalent.
The dual laser emitters were swivel-mounted to provide a wide forward firing arc. In hazardous environments, or to protect from hostile return fire, all view ports were equipped with retractable duranium covers. The fightercraft's main propulsion units were compact twin impulse engines and it was capable of short-range sub-warp flight. However, this was generally limited for quick jumps in combat situations.
