The [[USS Aurora]] has three auxiliary craft. A [[Type-8|Type-8]] Shuttlecraft for short-range scientific exploration; a [[Type-9|Type-9]] Shuttlecraft for long-range transport; and the [[Borealis]], a waverider atmospheric shuttlecraft designed for atmospheric planetary away missions. | The [[USS Aurora]] has three auxiliary craft. A [[Type-8|Type-8]] Shuttlecraft for short-range scientific exploration; a [[Type-9|Type-9]] Shuttlecraft for long-range transport; and the [[Borealis]], a waverider atmospheric shuttlecraft designed for atmospheric planetary away missions. | ||
===Shuttles=== | |||
The USS Aurora carries three shuttlecraft in its shuttlebays, as well as the Nova Class-specific Waverider. In addition to the shuttlecrafts, in emergency situations the crew has access to 42 [[Escape pod|escape pods]] placed at strategic locations around the vessel. | |||
====Short Range==== | |||
The USS Aurora carries two Type IX (also known as Class 2) shuttles. They are fast and maneuverable, but definitely not built for comfort. | |||
The Type 9 possesses limited amenities, and though furnished for two pilots and four passengers, can be crewed by a single person if necessary. Their compact size has earned them a reputation for causing "Class Two Claustrophobia" at Starfleet Academy, due to a predilection for stress-testing cadets by sending a full crew of six on training missions that last several weeks. As one Starfleet officer quipped ''"you did not want to be around when they opened up that airlock"''. | |||

====Long Range==== | |||
The USS Aurora carries one Type XI Shuttle, along with the Waverider. | |||
The Type XI shuttlecraft is an advanced piece of technology, containing bioneural circuitry as a standard, as well as a compact powerplant 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. | |||

The Ova Class' [[ma:Waverider|Waverider]], named the __________, has a specific docking port on the ventral side of the USS Aurora's saucer, in a recessed hatchway just aft of the ventral sensor array. The Waverider is a large secondary craft, with the capability for long-range travel and the protection, armament, and sensor capabilities superior to that of a standard auxiliary shuttle. Facilities include two sleeping bunks and a standard runabout-type passenger cabin. A replicator and flight couches provide for the needs of the passengers and a two-person transporter allows for beaming of personnel or cargo when needed. | |||
