Planetary Union Shuttle

Description
Planetary Union shuttles are stowed aboard larger spaceships inside the Shuttle Bay. Typically, shuttles are piloted by a helmsman or a navigator, but rarely another officer may pilot one.

A shuttle seats six passengers, including two seats for pilots with navigational controls. Shuttles may cloak to hide from enemies. Shuttles come equipped with lockers storing weapons, equipment belts, medical equipment, and comscanners for landing parties. Food Synthesizers create food and drink. The viewscreen can magnify objects or filter light to reduce brightness. The back of the shuttle is a ramp leading up to the hatchway.

Union shuttle systems are powered through high-energy dysonium. (In early 2420 a small group from the Orville crashes on an unnamed moon. Isaac restores partial power to the shuttle by mining local dysonium and sends a weak distress signal to the Orville. ) Versatile extending airlocks allow Union shuttles to latch on to many different kinds of docks encountered in space.

USS Orville (ECV-197)
Currently, two shuttles are known to exist on the USS Orville.
 * ECV-197-1 fly to and from the Epsilon Science Station, the USS Blériot, Moclus, the Dorahl Bioship, Sargus 4, and the surface of the Multiphasic Planet. Additionally, Lieutenant Alara Kitan operates a simulated version of ECV-197-1.
 * ECV-197-2 is a shuttlecraft seen docked in the Orville, and flies to and from the surface of the Habitable Moon.

USS Olympia (SCV-183)
Only one of its shuttlecrafts is directly observed from the outside. However, the designation of that shuttle as "2" implies there is at least one more.
 * SCV-183-2 is a shuttle that is seen in the Docking Bay of the Orville, transferring Darulio and the Lopolbian birthing bucket.
