This is a standard Type-18 Shuttle-pod used aboard the U.S.S. Defiant. The pod measures 4.5 by 3.1 by 1.8 meters, and can carry two operator crew and up to four additional passengers, or cargo. Its engines are composed of only impulse drives and thrusters, and can only travel at superluminal velocities if released at warp by another vessel. The craft is equipped with limited phaser armament, but can be modified to mount a number of small weapons systems.
