One of the specialized auxiliary spacecraft carried by the USS Grail is the captain's yacht. This spacecraft is characterized as multipurpose, thought it normally functions to convey diplomatic personnel on special missions not normally accomplished by shipboard transporters. The yacht is capable of sustained sublight velocities, but is able to be deployed when the Grail is traveling at speeds up to Warp 7. Max atmospheric velocity is Mach 20.
The yacht is usually named by the Cpt, but, most often, it is called the Captain's Gig.
