Magellan

The Magellan was a Federation Type 6 shuttlecraft that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century, attached to the . It was shuttlecraft number 15. 
In early 2368, Worf and Kellogg attempted to take the Magellan to the surface of El-Adrel IV to rescue Captain Jean-Luc Picard, stranded there by the Tamarians. In order to keep Picard and the Tamarian captain, Dathon, undisturbed, the Tamarian deep space cruiser opened fire on the Magellan, only damaging it enough to prevent it from landing. The shuttle aborted the mission and returned to the Enterprise. ()
Later that year, the Magellan was used by Commander William T. Riker and J'naii pilot Soren to rescue the crew of the J'naii shuttle Taris Murn from a pocket of null space. The Magellan was equipped with phaser emitters for the mission, which it used to chart the null space. The shuttle later entered null space and beamed the J'naii crew aboard, but was destroyed shortly after the Enterprise was able to transport Soren, Riker, and the J'naii back to the ship. ()
