Shuttle (Terran)

From StarCraft Wiki

The shuttle is a terran starship that is not to be confused with its protoss counterpart. Primarily used for spaceflight, they are often attached to battlecruisers^[1] and other large ships. At least some classes of shuttle possess wings.^[2]

Inner atmosphere shuttles equipped with ion thrusters also exist. That engine design was later adapted for the vulture.^[3] At full capacity, a shuttle can hold up to forty individuals.^[2]

Shuttles are capable of making short hops through warp space, albeit with very limited range.^[2] Capable of making terrestrial landings,^[1] shuttles also carry emergency beacons which can run for up to three years continuously.^[2]

Shuttles are also available for civilian use and act as transports between adjacent star systems. They may even be hired for private travel.^[4]
