Azhanti-class lifeboats were large emergency escape vehicles embarked on United Federation of Planets Starfleet ships in the 24th century.

They were first installed on Miranda-class light cruisers in 2319 and later on the Cheyenne-class when the latter were first constructed in the 2340s. Their capacity was up to 30 passengers. (USS Cheyenne Operations Manual)

There are apparently Jackill's blueprints for the Sanctuary-class escape pod, which may be the name of the Azhanti class lifeboat in an alternate continuity.

BackgroundEdit

Though not named, an Azhanti-class lifeboat was the type that conveyed Benjamin Sisko, Jake Sisko and others to safety after the destruction of USS Saratoga. (DS9: "Emissary")
