The Charon Class Shuttlecraft is the Romulan Star Empire's standard long-range heavy warpshuttle. At 24.23 metres in length, it is comparable in size to the Federation Danube Class Runabout. The Charon has a crew of 5 and carries 10 troops commanded by a Decurion, for a total complement of 15.
At visual ranges the Charon is sometimes mistaken for the larger Theta Class Courier, which is greatly resembles.

- Notes:
- The Charon Class is the shuttle seen decloaking in the runabout hangar on Deep Space Nine in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode In The Pale Moonlight. LUG calls this the Theta Class Swift Courier and makes it a somewhat larger ship, some 73 metres in length. In the scene, however, there are three size cues: the hatch in the side of the shuttle, the Danube Class Runabout behind it, and the pad markings around it. The latter are often seen with a runabout in other episodes, so they clearly show it to be about the same size. The length of 23.24 metres is taken from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual , a rare occurrance of figures from that book being correct.
