| Personnel shuttles are the most common form of [[Auxiliary Craft|auxiliary craft]] used by [[Starfleet]]. Made for short-duration missions, these craft generally have warp capability that limits them to an effective range of only a few light-years from their mothership or base, and they typically can accommodate between four and eight people, including their crew. They are most effective at travel within the same star system. While the distinction between personnel shuttles and shuttlepods has shifted over time and can be somewhat fuzzy, personnel shuttles are generally larger and warp-capable while shuttlepods are smaller and limited to impulse speeds.

| }}The Type-4 shuttle is based on the earlier Class-C shuttlecraft, a design that is also still seen in widespread use across the Federation. Its basic spaceframe has served as the core of the later Type-5, Type-6, and Type-8 designs, a line of vehicles that has seen production in the hundreds of thousands since it was first introduced in the 2280s. Generally speaking, these are no longer used by Starfleet, though there are exceptions hanging on at remote outposts and assigned to vessels in the Starfleet Auxilary, such as freighters and tankers. They still see widespread use in civilian hands.

| The forward cockpit with two crew stations is separated from the aft passenger area by a section with doors to port and starboard that allow entry to the cabin. Entry is also possible through a large hatch on the aft end of the vehicle. Generally, the aft area contains bench seats on either side, though there are variants with these stripped out to carry more cargo, variants with chairs, and even VIP variants; because of this vehicle's extreme age, there are many variants that could be encountered.

| The Type-5 shuttle is an evolution of the earlier Type-4 design with an enhanced cockpit and other improvements to the general characteristics of the craft. It has been in service for over sixty years at this point and is generally found on older vessels and on unimportant space stations. It's often used as a flight trainer, given its commonality with so many other small Federation vehicles.

| | A light cruiser, the ''USS North Sea'' (NCC-64904) was fitted for science and diplomatic missions. While she lacked the firepower of her sister classes, the Akira, the Saber and the Defiant, she was a jack-of-all-trades by design. The North Sea saw a number of second contant missions, acted as an escort for numerous dignitaries and aided in evacuation efforts during both the Dominion War and the Romulan crisis. Stationed at [[Starbase 4]], the North Sea was assigned to [https://bravofleet.com/group/task-force-72 Taskforce 72] in 2400. |

| | == History == |
| | The USS North Sea was commissioned in 2371 and launched in 2373 from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. After an initial shakedown cruise under Captain Donov, the USS North Sea was tasked as a flag ship during the Federation-Klingon War. The vessel operated as a mobile HQ for the Federation until the conflict ended. |

| |
| Of all of the models of shuttle produced in the 24th century, the Type-6 is the most common throughout Starfleet. Though it was introduced in the 2350s, it was produced in such high numbers that it will be a common sight in hanger bays across the fleet for the foreseeable future. Many pilots prefer this craft over later models because it strikes such a good balance between size and performance.
| |
|
| |
|
| A shortened and enhanced version of the two previous models, this craft has an emergency transporter, replicator, and mounts for type-VI phaser banks which can be installed for special missions. With the two side hatches from the previous versions eliminated, access is only possible through the large rear hatch. Bench seating on the sides of the aft compartment are the most common configuration for this shuttle.
| | ===== 2375 - 2378 ===== |
| | After Donov retired, the USS North Sea fell into the hands of Captain Ronald Ho, a veteran of the Dominion War. Ho was more than happy to steer the ship toward a purely scientific vessel and conducted numerous second contact missions. |

This larger size allows it to reliably transport bulkier cargo, useful for ships not large enough to also carry cargo shuttles. The Type-6A is slightly taller than the model it is derived from, as it rests on its warp nacelles and not the bottom of the fuselage.

| | Without a captain, the senior officer on board, Commander Xertes Tles and Chief Engineer, was set to take command of the USS North Sea. Designated as a training vessel, the ship was unexpectedly detoured to Starbase 4 and assigned to Taskforce 72 under the Command of Captain Charlotte Fawkes. Formerly of the USS Leda, a Luna-class starship, Fawkes hoped to steer the ship into more of a lightweight explorer. |

| Introduced alongside the Galaxy-class in the late 2350s, the Type-7 shuttle was the first wholly new personnel shuttle design in over 70 years. With its curved hull and spacious interior, it was a much higher performance vehicle than the Type-6 and generally has only seen service on larger vessels. It still remains a popular small craft, especially among senior officers who appreciate the separation between the flight area and the passenger compartment.

| Entry is provided through a hatch under the nose of the vehicle, which also serves as a ramp up into the cockpit, which contains free-standing consoles for a pilot and mission specialist. It has reconfigurable seating in the aft compartment that can serve in many variations ranging from bench seating for six, to front-to-back chairs for eight, to an executive configuration with a comfortable lounge space for senior officers.

| The most recent (and likely final) revision of the Type-4 spaceframe, the Type-8 shuttle is an uprated version of the Type-6, with enhanced computer systems, shields, and Type-VI phasers mounted by default, as a response to increasing concerns over the Borg that were circulating when it was introduced in the late 2360s. It was first used aboard Akira, Saber, and Norway-class ships, and retains the same overall shape and configuration of her older cousin. Though it's not meant for sustained combat, commanders can feel confident that it can get where it needs to go thanks to its adequate defenses.

It is armed with three Type-VI phaser arrays and has good shielding, but only has comfortable accommodations for four people, including two crew. It remains a common sight due to its utility, though it's less capable at transporting people than larger models.
| |
| | |
| The cockpit has a station for the pilot and a station for a mission specialist, which includes a large wrap-around console with access to the shuttle's enhanced sensor systems. Entry is provided through an aft hatch, which has a fold-down ramp and a roll-up upper section. Jumpseats can be installed in the aft section, or it can carry small amounts of cargo.

| The Type-10 shuttle is the smallest craft classified as a personnel shuttle rather than a shuttlepod. Designed for escort-types ships such as the Defiant-class, these craft take up a minimal amount of space and have hardened features that make them suited for rougher environments than other small craft. In addition to an armored hull, they're armed with Type-VI phaser arrays and twin micro-torpedo launchers mounted above the fuselage. These armaments make them an ideal choice for discreet tactical missions. They have the capacity for two crew members and four passengers, in close quarters. Entry is achieved through a single rear hatch, and this craft is one of the few Federation vehicles that has extendable landing legs to offer stability for its rear-heavy frame.

| Type-11 shuttles are the largest personnel shuttles currently in use by Starfleet. Built on similar principles to the earlier Type-7 shuttle but on a larger scale, this type of shuttle has a separate cockpit and configurable mission section, with options ranging from simple passenger space, a VIP stateroom, cargo space, or scientific equipment. This modularity makes it nearly as capable as a small runabout, and, indeed, smaller ships will often embark a Type-11 rather than a runabout. They have a single aft hatch, along with top and bottom hatches with docking clamps. They're also armed standard with Type-VII phaser arrays.

It is currently the standard personnel shuttle being deployed across Starfleet's newest ships and bases. Capable of even longer distance missions than the Type-9, the Type-12 is a highly capable craft that also fits in almost any hanger bay.
