| | '''Atmospheric shuttles''' are [[FTL|Jump]]-capable vessels whose primary role is ferrying passengers to and from the different vessels within [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] or to a planet's surface. |
|
| |
|
| | Atmospheric shuttles appear on both military and civilian vessels. A shuttle is seen at the start of the [[Miniseries]] as it ferries the [[Colonial Fleet]]'s [[Armistice Officer]] from [[Picon Fleet Headquarters]] to [[Armistice Station]]. |
|

|
| {{Ship Data
| | A shuttle is seen in the [[landing bay]] of battlestar ''[[Galactica]]'' ([[Miniseries]]) and on the hangar deck of ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' ([[Resistance]]). An atmospheric shuttle ferries [[Laura Roslin faction|a group seeking the whereabouts of Earth]] to the [[Galleon Meadow]] on [[Kobol]] ([[The Farm]]), and docks to ''Galactica'' in "[[Act of Contrition]]." A shuttle is also seen at rest on the surface of [[New Caprica]] during its colonization. |

| '''Atmospheric shuttles'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> are smaller vessels employed by the Colonials for ship to ship, ship to planet, and planet to ship transport. There are at least two different models, with one dating back to the [[First Cylon War]] {{TRS|Miniseries}}.
| | ===Note=== |
| | | The atmospheric shuttle's counterpart in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] is the [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|Colonial Shuttle]]. |
| After the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], these craft were quite popular in the surviving [[The Fleet|fleet]] for ship to ship travel, and often created busy space lanes which were easy to get lost in {{TRS|Resistance}}.
