Kelaka, lower starboard fore view Incorporating a mix of Federation, Cardassian, and Rihannsu technology, Kelaka was inspired by the large, high-speed bombers used by the Rihannsu fleet and was constructed by a team aboard U.S.S. Coronado by Commander Fornan Dejat, Lt. Commander William Daren, and Lt. Zunite Oswald. Commander Dejat provided the basic design principles, including the Cardassian profile and weapons technologies used.

Forward view Kelaka (the name translates roughly as "dragonhound" and refers to a creature native to Cardassia Prime) was intended as a heavier, runabout-size alternative to Coronado's rather small shuttlecraft. With a normal crew of three, the ship can carry and sleep up to 12 people and can be used to conduct on-site sensor scans and research away from Coro. The ship is quite survivable under a variety of conditions.

Kelaka, upper port fore view Inspired by Rihannsu technology, Kelaka incorporates a highly advanced stealthing system referred to by the Rihannsu as the "shroud." Similar to Federation holographic defense technology, a shrouded ship can artificially lower its EM output to near space-background levels and disguise itself as part of the surrounding environment or another ship, or anything at all... The ship also includes a highly advanced ECM suite.

Kelaka, lower aft view Kelaka's nacelles are mounted on variable geometry struts, and like most Captain's yachts, can retract for storage. In addition to her Cardassian-inspired weaponry and Rihannsu-inspired defenses, Kelaka includes some of the finest sensors Federation technology has to offer, including sensors usually only found on a much larger ship. Like all Starfleet support craft, she also includes transporter capability.
