Escape pod

An escape pod is a small manoeuvrable capsule allowing quick escape from a starship or starbase for various reasons. Most vessels and bases have more than one escape pod.
Escape pods were usually utilised when a ship or base is heavily damaged and may be destroyed. All Starfleet vessels and bases contain sufficient number of escape pods to ensure the entire crew and all non-Starfleet personnel can be safely evacuated.
In an alternate universe, Terri Letac was the only survivor found in an escape pod launched from the when that ship was destroyed battling the Dominion in the Bajor system during Operation Return.
