Description: The type-6 shuttlecraft was a Starfleet auxiliary vehicle carried by starships and space stations in the 24th century.
The type-6 shuttlecraft was introduced sometime prior to 2364. The design was wide-spread in Starfleet with most starships and space stations assigned several of the shuttles, as such it could be considered the standard shuttle throughout the 2360s and early-2370s.
It was a versatile vessel equipped with a warp drive allowing warp travel. The type-6 could also be equipped with additional systems including weapons such as type-IV phaser emitters or a portable transporter. By 2374 these systems became standard on the shuttle. (TNG: "Outcast"; VOY: "Raven")
