(ST novel: Articles of the Federation) In an alternate universe's 2280s, Starfleet vessels, including shuttlecraft, transporting the Federation President bore the call sign Starfleet One. (ST novel: The Chimes at Midnight.)
- However, the primary Aerospace Craft used is called Aerospace Force One regardless. A heavily modified Colonial Heavy Passenger Transport, Aerospace Force Designation VC-291A, Aerospace Force One is a former passenger liner for inter system transit. It has been modified to include a small bedroom for the President and her family, an office area, and an area in the former cargo bay for the reporters to file their stories, a location that the President requested specifically. Though always escorted by the Wing Guard, a group of three Marauder Destroyer Squadrons and five K-Wing Squadrons, Aerospace One is far from defenseless. The craft has a bank of four Naval PPC cannons and a pair of proton torpedo launchers hidden under the bow. In a bank along it's rear is a collection of three hundred chaff dispensers, and a set of sixteen EM Decoy Probes are built into a dispenser in the bottom of the craft.
