Hangar - Federation Shuttles
Federation Shuttles are a type of Hangar Pet for Starfleet characters and their allies, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters.
It is a collective name for two visual variants of hangar pet: Type 8 and Type 10 Shuttles.
As a standard-issue hangar pet, they are always available for purchase and can be equipped on any vessel capable of launching hangar pets. Slotted hangar pets will add a launch ability:

Shuttlecraft are typically warp capable auxiliary craft, used for short-range missions such as the transportation of personnel or supplies.
The successor design to the Type 6 and Type 7 shuttles of the late-24th Century, the Type 8 shuttlecraft has been in service since the mid-2370s. Since then Type 8 has remained the standard issue shuttle onboard most Starfleet vessels and facilities. These shuttlecraft however are lightly armed and lightly shielded, equipped with only a single phaser array.
The Type 10 shuttlecraft, also referred to as Chaffee-type, were originally designed for deployment from Defiant-class starships during the Dominion War. They are moderately tougher than their standard issue Type 8 counterparts, gaining a Photon torpedo with its Elite variant.
Wings of standard-issue (rare) Type 8 Shuttles come pre-loaded as part of the standard equipment of most Starfleet vessels with hangar bays (i.e. Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser). Type 10 Shuttles do not come pre-loaded as part of any Starfleet vessels' standard equipment.
