As with his other Son'a starship designs, Eaves based the design of his Son'a shuttle on "(...)activity games I found out in the backyard. I wanted to give a whole different kind of look to their architecture, so I kind of went with yard toys - Ru'afo's ship is based on a horseshoe, the battleship is based on a boomerang, the shuttle is a yard dart, and the science vessel ... well, the front of it is sort of a badminton shuttlecock turned inside out." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 3, pp. 21) Eaves later elaborated, "One of the favorite designs I worked on, was the Son'a scoutships. And that was kind of based, again, on the boomerang, but with more of aggressive angles on it. It was primarily written to be seen at night, with just the lights flying by, and they actually did a lot

It was primarily written to be seen at night, with just the lights flying by, and they actually did a lot of daylight shots with it. And kind of the entire film, that was my favorite of the ships that was produced for the show." (Star Trek: Insurrection (Special Edition DVD) special feature, "The Art of Insurrection"), adding on a later occasion, "This was a very fun little ship from ST Insurrection, It's shape is lightly based on it's DS9 predecessor the Jem Hedar battle cruiser. This was a quick and dirty little design that wound up being my fav from the movie, It had sleek look in the flying sequences designed by the boys over at Santa Barbara studios and the folks at Blue Sky made a great model to use as CG reference." [1] Working throughout April 1998 on his design, it apparently escaped Peter Lauritson's predilection of having the Son'a ships fly with the forked appendices backward swept, as was exceptionally evident on the (re-)design of Ru'afo's flagship, soliciting a gleeful remark of Eaves on his blog years later, "HAAAA! this one fell thru the cracks so no which way did she go's here!!!", making the shuttle the only Son'a ship that flew with the forks forward facing, as Eaves had initially intended for all his Son'a ships.
