Based upon the frame of the Type-6, the Type-8 Shuttlecraft is the most capable follow-up in the realm of personnel shuttles. Only slightly larger, the Type-8 is equipped with a medium-range transporter and has the ability to travel within a planet’s atmosphere. With a large cargo area that can also seat six passengers, the shuttle is a capable transport craft. Slowly replacing its elder parent craft, the Type-8 is now seeing rapid deployment on all medium to large starships, as well as to Starbases and stations throughout the Federation. The Type-8 can easily be outfitted with a biobed and medical equipment, turning the rear cargo area into a makeshift sickbay.

Twilight’s Type-8 Personnel Shuttlecraft is named the John Burke.

A shuttlecraft features comfortable, ergonomic seating for long voyages. All controls are efficiently within reach for a crew of two.
