Additional Information


Atmospheric shuttles[1] are FTL-capable vessels whose primary role is ferrying passengers to and from the different vessels within the Fleet or to a planet's surface.

Atmospheric shuttles appear on both military and civilian vessels. A shuttle is seen in Galactica's landing bay (Miniseries) and on the hangar deck of Cloud Nine (Resistance).

An atmospheric shuttle ferries a group around Laura Roslin seeking the whereabouts of Earth to the Galleon Meadow on Kobol (Home, Part I), and docks to Galactica in "Act of Contrition". A shuttle is also seen at rest on the surface of New Caprica during its colonization, and during food retrieval efforts on the algae planet (The Eye of Jupiter).

When Kendra Shaw waits at the Caprica Transfer Station for her lift to the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards, she sees a shuttle taking off outside the tent (Razor).
