The shuttle is the work horse of the Colonial fleet, being a prime cargo and people mover. Every ship of the fleet carries at least one of these craft. They are large, being around 37 metrons in length. They can carry 1 landram, twenty passengers and some cargo as standard.
Shuttles are comparatively slow when compared with fighters, and in a combat situation are fairly useles as they carries no weapons as standard and must rely on the skill of the pilot for the shuttles survival.
Like all craft, there are variations on the shuttle craft. Some have been armed with some turbo lasers, although these are still fairly useless in anything but a ground attack role as even Cylon Raiders can outfly these craft. As such, most variants are to do with what cargo the shuttle is to carry. There are even double sized shuttles - the size of small interplanetary craft themselves - able to carry a vast amount of cargo.
