Shuttles
The USS Avandar carries nine shuttlecraft in its shuttlebay plus six Workbees, as well as the Waverider. In addition to the shuttlecrafts, in emergency situations the crew has access to 92 Escape pod placed at strategic locations around the vessel.
Short Range
The USS Avandar carries two Type 18 shuttlepods. They are fast and maneuverable, but definitely not built for comfort.

The Danube-class was first commissioned by Starfleet in 2368 for use as a light multipurpose craft in situations that demanded a vessel more capable than a standard shuttlecraft, but lower profile than a full-sized starship. With this flexibility, a runabout could be utilized as a long-range personnel and cargo transport, an agile mobile defense platform, or a high-speed reconnaissance vehicle.

The Argo Class Shuttle is one of the newest class of shuttle in the Federation, This shuttle is know to be one of the marines favourites. The Argo was designed with recessed warp nacelles and fold-down wings. These wings were designed to assist in atmospheric maneuverability. The shuttle was equipped with an all-terrain buggy that could transport up to three passengers over rugged terrain. The buggy was secured aboard the shuttle's cargo hold via wheel clamps. The shuttlecraft could also be remote controlled from a device on the buggy.
