This is the Mission Class Courier from FASA. I modelled it as close as possible to the drawing from the game material. The book states an original length of 31.5m, so i scaled it to this figure. Although then the other two dimensions (width and height) from the same book do not match. Both are about 4-5m less. At this size it's impossible to fit three decks in it, as stated in the book. Even two will be hard to accomplish. Nevertheless, i stick to the given length, making this more like a large shuttle. But i like to think that this is the TOS equivalent to the TNG Runabout to which it is only slightly larger.

After looking at it for a while, i realized what a good candidate this is for the "Rocinante", Chervantes Quinn's Mancharan Starhopper from the Star Trek: Vanguard series of books. In the books it is described as follows:
Having a wedge shaped main hull - Well, check!
Area for cargo storage - Why not?
Room to accommodate 4 humans comfortably - At the size of a Runabout, sure it has.
A cockpit on the dorsal side of the hull - Let's imagine there are some windows on the front of the upper hull.
TOS style nacelles that are about 2/3 the length of the ship - Almost fits EXACTLY, down to the meter.
No weapons or transporter - In the FASA book the small bulge under the forward main hull is supposed to be a phaser, but is also can be just a sensor dome  or something else.
3 underside landing feet - That's the only thing that doesn't fit well. There are 2 doors for the landing gear on each nacelle. But we can also assume there is a landing gear retracted somewhere under the front hull (Maybe the little bulge i mentioned before?)
Underside gangway - It's totally believable that there is some sort of ramp that can open from the sloping underside. Either to the front or to the rear. To the front it would make a nice flat ramp for loading cargo.
Badly repaired battle damage and molted grey color scheme - Well, this is up to your painting skills.
