Shuttle (Earth-9791)

A shuttle is a type of spacecraft used for low orbit and/or short distance space travel. Duo to their size, shuttles do not carry Shaw-Fujikawa translight engines and as such are incapable of faster-than-light travel, being only able to journey in subluminal speeds.

History
When the Fujikawa arrived in the orbit of Aegis VII, it sent multiple shuttles in to the city of Gladsheim to transport goods. Hanford Carthusia, the colonial manager of Aegis VII, sent three shuttles to the Fujikawa before it initiated its planet cracking operations.

The first shuttle sent carried the Red Marker, the second carried data about the artifact, and the third carried the bodies of colonists which had been incapacitated by a mysterious organism at Union Square. While Carthusia attempted to prevent the last shuttle from leaving, he was ultimately prohibited from leaving the colony and flee on the Ishimura.
