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. | Similar in design to Type 6 but slightly larger, it requires a piloting crew of two.

It is specifically designed for deep-space scouting missions, even though they are actually smaller than the Type 6. As far as an Intrepid-class 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. | ||
Atlantis' | Atlantis' twelve Type 9 shuttlecraft are the ''Elias Greg,'' the ''Hawthorne,'' the ''Drayton,'' the ''Mirabelle,'' the ''Elysia,'' the ''Drake,'' the ''Vondra,'' the ''Tempera,'' the ''Sheldar,'' the ''Roanoke,'' the ''Shambhala,'' and the ''Lyoness''. | ||
