* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
: Battlestars and other large spacecraft are too large ever to land or even to dock easily with other ships of similar size. Each, therefore, carries a number of small shuttles to transport personnel and equipment from ship to ship or ship to planet. Shuttles are relatively defenseless and must be escorted by Vipers through hostile territory. They can carry up to two [[Landram]]s and a crew of forty-five. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|pages=52}}</ref>

*Another shuttle of this type is seen in the ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' exhibition in the [[Miniseries]], while working models are still used in the Fleet {{TRS|The Woman King}}. Whether this is an indication that such shuttles are used aboard ''Galactica'' is unknown.
