Shuttlepods
After the old shuttle classification system was abandoned in the 2270s, the until then liberally-applied name ‘shuttlepod’ was clarified to denote the smallest starship auxiliaries only.
This category includes simple transatmospheric craft, intership boats without landing capacity, general-purpose pods with landing and interplanetary capacity, and even some later advanced designs with warp propulsion. The common factor is availability of impulse propulsion, a capability lacking from assorted inspection and work pods of even smaller size. Also common to all shuttlepods is a primary liaison mission, even if certain designs transcend such vocational expectations by possessing advanced tools, sensors or even armament.
All craft in this category are less than 2 tons in hull mass, although subspace coil mass for the impulse and sometimes warp propulsion systems naturally represents a considerable addition.
