Shuttlecraft - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki |
 | | In starship classification, shuttlecraft, or shuttles, are auxiliary craft typically attached to a starship or a starbase. |
 | | Utilization of shuttlecraft is common for most spacefaring civilizations, especially for situations where the transporter cannot be used for landings, or where such technology does not yet exist. |
 | | Shuttlecraft range in size from the larger, longer-range, and more versatile type of shuttle, known as a runabout, to the small and short-range type of shuttle, known as a shuttlepod. |
