== Technical data ==
=== Specifications ===
The type of shuttle was similar in appearance to the Type 8, but closer in size to the Galileo-type shuttlecraft. 
The nacelles of these shuttles varied slightly, somewhat resembling those on the ships, while a secondary design bore nacelles that resembled those of ships. ()
The shuttle's coolant intake compressors were located on either side of the the upper aft quarter. The plasma transfer subsystem and primary field generators were located in the nacelles. The navigational deflectors were located on the shuttle's bow. Interior features included an avionics bay and a flight control interface. ()
In 2380, at least one shuttle of this class had been recently equipped with a new type of blast shield. ()
== Interior configuration ==
The interior consisted of a standard cockpit with seating for two, with a small cabin in the aft. Overall, it was limited to a crew capacity of approximately eight. () 
Entry to the shuttle was through a large hatch in the rear of the craft, with two additional hatches located on both sides behind the pilot chairs. There were benches for passenger seating in the aft section, parallel to the rear walls, with ample room for cargo. () A replicator was located on the port side between the bench and exit hatch, but this was not solely relied upon in an emergency, so a supply of emergency rations was also stored onboard as well. ()
The cockpit had two swiveled chairs with approximately 180° of forward control consoles wrapped around the forward section with a small viewscreen integrated into the panel. ()
