TREK NOTES:
The Somraw - a Raptor-class scoutship with a crew of 12 - was rescued from the atmosphere of a gas giant by the Enterprise in 2151. This is not the same as a Bird of Prey, which was also referred to in the episode. Decks were labeled: "Deck 2, Red Sector", "Deck 4, Blue Sector", "Deck 4, Green Sector". The engine room was called the "reactor pit". (ENT "Sleeping Targs"; cf. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Raptor_class )

"Small size of the craft indicates a rapid scout vessel, one- or two-man crew." (Spock, TOS "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")

Klingon agent Kras said he a arrived on planet Capella IV in a small scoutship in 2267. (TOS "Friday's Child")

In 2366 the Romulan scout ship Pi crashed on Galorndon Core, one-half light-year in Federation space. (TNG "The Enemy") Later that year Romulan Admiral Alidar Jarok stole a scout ship and defected to the Federation. (TNG "The Defector")
