The USS Atlantis is equipped with a full complement of shuttles. She is equipped with two each of Type 8 and Type 9 shuttles, which are capable of providing a variety of functions. Shuttles can be used for short to long range transportation, as well as for performing a variety of mission functions. Modern shuttles are equipped with warp engines as well as phasers.

In addition to the four shuttlecraft, Atlantis is also home to Starfleet's 48th Rapid Response Task Group's runabout. Intrepid-class starships also come equipped with an Aeroshuttle.

Similar in design to Type 6 but slightly larger, it requires a piloting crew of two. It is equipped with a personnel transporter to allow short-range transportation. It has slightly enlarged twin warp nacelles compared to the Type 6 which is what gives it an extended travelling range over the Type 6. Its length and weight are otherwise similar to the Type 6, namely 6 meters and about 3.38 metric tonnes. Unlike the Type 6, the Type 8 is permanently equipped with phasers, with Type IV phaser emitters installed.

It is specifically designed for deep-space scouting missions, even though they are actually smaller than the Type 6. As far as an Intrepid-cass vessel like Atlantis is concerned, the Type 9's greatest asset is its relatively compact dimensions. This enables a sizeable number to be stored within the shuttlebay area.
An AeroShuttle was the term given to the ventrally docking subordinate craft of Intrepid-class starships. The craft was designed for atmospheric operations, and short-term missions as a support vessel, rather than as an independently operating small starship like the [[Danube class]] on which it is based.

===History===
The AeroShuttle was initially conceived as a support craft for the Intrepid class, but some were also assigned to other starships and Starfleet installations. Construction of two prototypes began in 2369, closely followed by 15 production craft, seven of which were assigned to the new Intrepid class ships.  


The Danube Class was first commissioned by Starfleet in 2369 for use as a light multipurpose craft in situations that demanded a vessel more powerful than a standard shuttlecraft, but lower profile than a full-sized starship. With this flexibility, a runabout can be utilized as a long-range personnel/cargo transport, an agile mobile defense platform, or high-speed reconnaissance vehicle.
The AeroShuttle was then officially commissioned in 2370 and its success led to the development of the Waverider atmospheric operations shuttlecraft.


Ideally, a runabout is piloted by two crewmembers, although one pilot will suffice. The bridge can accommodate up to four people.Small square viewscreens mounted within the forward corners of the cabin are used for video communication and ship status displays. In the center of the vessel lies a food replicator and a compact personnel transporter. The transporter is powerful enough to transport multiple personnel at once.
===Specifications===


The rear of the craft can be configured as a large crew cabin complete with sleeping and dining areas for extended travel. This area can also be used as a cargo bay. The runabout is equipped with at least one manual escape hatch, located near the front side of the vehicle.
In its basic configuration, the AeroShuttle was 24.8 meters long with a 29.6 meter wingspan, and displaced 222.5 metric tonnes. It could accommodate six crewmen on a standard two week mission. It was capable of effective operations within planetary atmospheres ranging from class D to class J and was highly maneuverable in flight. Its sensors were optimized for planetary surveys, but could also be used for reconnaissance or covert operations. All shipboard systems were controlled and monitored by an M-15 Isolinear III Processor.


The innovative feature that made the runabout possible is its compact, high-performance warp propulsion system. A runabout is capable of traveling at up to Warp 8. The runabout was also equipped with an aft tractor beam emitter strong enough to tow a Cardassian Galor class warship, also certified for warp towing.
'''Propulsion and navigation:'''
*The AeroShuttle was mounted with two LF-9X4 Advanced Compact Linear Warp Drive Units and two FIB-3 Compact Subatomic Unified Energy Impulse Units, which gave it a cruising speed of warp factor 3 and a maximum velocity of warp factor 5. The primary navigation system was provided by RAV/ISHAK Mod 3 Warp Celestial Guidance.


The runabout's highly modular platform allows easy configuration for a multitude of missions. Two such modules are the mission module and sensor pod. For defence, the runabout is armed with phasers and microtorpedoes. The microtorpedo launcher assembly is accessible via a hatch on the floor of the forward cabin.
'''Weapons and defense:'''
*An FSQ-2 Primary Force Field and Deflector Control System provided the main defensive systems, while offensive weaponry included four Type VI collimated phaser arrays and two Mark 25 direct-fire photon microtorpedo tubes.


The runabout assigned to Atlantis' [[Hazard Team]] is the USS Fraser, NCC-74602. The FRASER has a modicum of ablative armour, a sensor reflective hull, and the 4 modular units at the rear are strictly for equipment and emergency trauma.
