In starship classification, '''shuttlecraft''', or '''shuttles''', are auxiliary craft typically attached to a starship or a starbase. Most shuttles are short-range vessels, possessing only impulse drive or a limited warp capability. Utilization of shuttlecraft is common for most spacefaring civilizations, especially for situations where the transporter cannot be used for landings, or where such technology does not yet exist.

The larger, longer-range, and more versatile type of shuttle is known as a [[ma:Runabout|runabout]], whereas the small and short-range type of shuttle is known as a shuttlepod.
'''Shuttlecraft''', or '''shuttles''', are auxiliary craft typically attached to a starship or a starbase. Most shuttles are short-range vessels, possessing only impulse drive or limited warp capability. The use of shuttlecraft is common for most spacefaring civilizations, especially for situations where the transporter cannot be used for landings, or where such technology does not yet exist.


All Starfleet shuttlecrafts from the 23rd century and onward had warp nacelles indicating warp capability.
Starfleet designates shuttlecraft into two classes:
* '''[[Class 1 Shuttlecraft]]:''' Also known as '''shuttlepods'''., these smaller shuttlecraft lack warp capability.
* '''[[Class 2 Shuttlecraft]]:''' Larger shuttles capable of warp travel and extended mission duration.


===Classes/Types===
A number of specialized craft such as workbees, captain's yachts, aeroshuttles, and wave riders are also employed in the fleet.
