These ships were seen in all of the fleet shots. That would seem to
indicate
that these are warp capable units. That would make them somewhat larger
then
the FT idea of a fighter. In my home grown rules a shuttle is mass 4,
based
on warp engines and a screen generator. it can also carry more then a
one
person crew. That would place them in a class with courier ships.
