Category:Shuttles

A shuttle or shuttlecraft is a small vessel used to transport personnel, usually at least partially through space, be it from a planet's orbit to the surface, or from one larger ship to another located nearby. Many shuttles are also fitted with their own FTL drives and can thus travel great distances, such as between planets as liaison craft.

While shuttles can be used for combat purposes, they tend to be less specialised for the task and are more commonly seen in use as liaison and VIP transport vehicles.
