The [[Type-9]] Personnel Shuttle is a long-range craft capable of traveling at high warp for extended periods of time due to new advances in variable geometry warp physics. Making its debut just before the launch of the Intrepid-class, this shuttle type is ideal for scouting and recon missions, but is well suited to perform many multi-mission tasks.

The Type XI-S shuttlecraft is an advanced piece of technology, containing bioneural circuitry as a standard, as well as a compact power plant that still provides excellent cruising and maximum speeds.  The cockpit is an individual compartment, separate from the rest of the shuttle, which a break from Starfleet's standard shuttle design.

Arrow Class Runabouts utilize the same "modular" construction in regard to interior makeup. They are compatible with standard Starfleet multi-use compartment modules and are much easier than even the conventional Runabouts being that the warp engines and wings feature a "gull" design which swing open for easy access to the interior. The compartment modules fit neatly inside and lock into place for optimum refit capability. The Arrow class is slightly longer than the standard Danube. This affords a somewhat roomier cockpit area, more work stations, and a larger crew complement.

The Argo Class Shuttle is one of the newest class of shuttle in the Federation. 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.

The Core Management Unit, colloquially known as the "Work Bee" due to it's signature yellow hull, is a common site anywhere in the Federation. Unlike the Sphinx workpod, the Work Bee can only carry one passenger, who is usually fitted with a space-suit. As the CMU is primarily a maintenance craft, it can be equipped with a variety of tools, including a set of dual remote manipulator arms called the Grabber Sled. The CMU can also serve as a tug for cargo modules with the Cargo-Train Attachment. The CMU can operate both in the vacuum of space and within the atmospheric and gravitational conditions of a starship cargo bay or planetary surface.
