Originally, craft were being directed to land near the center of the Administrative area, but more and more are being shifted toward the Docks as the population of the station grows.
There are two Type 8 shuttle and two Type 9 shuttles available to the Station.
Both the Type 8 and Type 9 possesses limited amenities, and though furnished for two pilots and four passengers, can be crewed by a single person if necessary. The Type 9 has a slightly longer ranger and higher speed than Type 8 making the Type 8 more suited for operations closer to Ring 42.
Additionally, the Station has ten Type 18 shuttlepods, impulse only craft. These craft are generally used for planetary and inter-Ring operations.
