Need Runabout references

[Ziz]

I'm working on a project involving the interior of the Runabout and I need reference material. I know "Timescape" was the only TNG ep to feature it, especially the rear cabin area, but does anyone have a list of which DS9 eps were Runabout heavy or had unique views of different interior parts? Again, I'm more focused on the rear cabin as there's plenty of reference for the cockpit but any and all help will be appreciated.

Lets see, off the top of my head, "Tacking into the wind" might be something to look at, they have a scene near the transporter at the back of the runabout Cockpit, which they didn't do very much.

"The Ascent" had different angles on the Runabout both prior to and after the crash.

Can't think of anything else on it right now.

I looked up both of those on TrekCore and they only show the cockpit and aft cockpit area where the transporter is. I was looking for some ep besides TNG:Timescape that showed the actual rear interior area.

There are none, Timescape was the only episode that featured the rear interior.

I remember the Runabout that Playmates made for their DS9 toyline had a rear cockpit for the back of the Runabout, complete with seatbelts with a Starfleet insignia buckle!

What I'm saying is, too toyetic to use as reference.

This is correct, Timescape is the only time the rear compartment has been viewed. However you can hear references to parts of it in DS9 episodes.

Interior configuration


Ideally, a runabout was piloted by two crewmembers, although one pilot would suffice. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I") The pilots' consoles faced forward upon two large portholes. The cockpit had stations for up to four crewmembers. The two large portholes were equipped with retractable blast shutters. (DS9: "One Little Ship") Small square viewscreens mounted within the forward corners of the cabin were used for video communication and ship status displays. (DS9: "Vortex") In the original configuration, a food replicator and a compact personnel transporter were located immediately behind the cockpit stations. After the class underwent a refit as hostilities arose between the Federation and the Dominion, the transporter and replicator were moved further back and a secondary tactical console was positioned in the cockpit. The transporter was capable of transporting multiple persons simultaneously. (DS9: "Vortex")

The rear of the craft could be configured as a large crew cabin complete with sleeping and dining areas for extended travel. (TNG: "Timescape"; DS9: "The Jem'Hadar", "Let He Who Is Without Sin...") This area could also be used as a cargo bay. (DS9: "Tribunal") In the center of the craft, between the two wing pylons, a series of replaceable modules could be connected. These modules could be swapped to suit mission requirements. Examples of available modules included science laboratories, crew quarters, and photon or quantum torpedo bays. (DS9: "Melora")
The runabout was equipped with at least one manual escape hatch, located near the front side of the vehicle. (DS9: "Battle Lines") A small Jefferies tube was also present, immediately underneath the warp core that ran along the spine of the vessel. (DS9: "Blaze of Glory")
The craft could also contain an emergency unit for medical emergencies. (DS9: "The Passenger")

Dialogue references don't help with a visual project. I don't know DS9 as well as I do TNG so I didn't know if I missed another rear cabin scene somewhere.

Thanks anyway.

There is another episode where the show the rear cabin. It's one of the last DS9 eps where Dumar finds out his family has been killed.

^Already mentioned that one. They were in the back of the Runabout Cockpit, near the transporter, not the aft section.

[Ziz]

You'd think they would have used it more often since they went through the trouble to build it for Timescape, which was early in DS9, relatively speaking.

[Tiberius]

It probably was just a bunch of walls they tossed together. Not a set they could recreate easily. Not really any different from your regular "alien bridge of the week".

IIRC, the runabout aft compartment set was re-dressed to serve as another Starfleet ship interior on DS9 for an episode or two, but never actually got re-used as the proper runabout set again after TNG's "Timescape."
