Info: Galleon is one of the standard shuttles in
the GA military. Galleon was made by Humans, but apparently Gigerdian aquired
few of these and then started to use them. Only military is allowed to use this
shuttle even that it doesn't have any weaponry and has quite light shielding.
Galleon is only used to transport military personnel to one location to another,
when they cannot be transported.
Here is picture of Galleon.
Runabout Class Shuttle

Info: Runabouts are armed shuttles, capable of
defending themselves a bit, but not much. Runabouts aren't really any faster
than Galleons, but are a bit more maneuverable. Runabouts are also used only
by military, but they are also used on deep space scouting and exploration missions,
which may require weaponry. Runabout was designed by Gigerdians and humans after
the Gorg war and only little before Dominion war begun. Runabouts were used
as a fighters sometimes during the war, but quite rarely. Runabouts are pretty
much a tertiary shuttle perhaps, they aren't so widely used because shuttles
rarely need weaponry.
Here is picture of Runabout.
Venture Class Shuttle

Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: One small Antimatter reactor and one
small fusion reactor.
Info: Also used as a scout. Not as powerful as
the Runabout, but still the venture is capable of fight. Venture is also faster.
Used as a secondary shuttle in the GA. Has defenses and its shields are quite
strong. Still it has just a warp drive. It was designed by the gigerdians. In
the time of the Lightness War. Then it was mostly working as a scout, but after
it became more as a shuttle and is currently the secondary shuttle. Venture
is the fastest shuttle in the GA. Its armor is little bit stronger than Runabout's.
Ventures are perhaps a bit more used as a scouts than as a shuttles. Venture
isn't as powerful as the Runabout, but still has some firepower. Venture is
a bit faster and more maneuverable than the other shuttles. Venture only has
a warp drive, even the newer versions have only a warp drive, it seems that
no one has really wanted to make a version of Venture with jump drives installed,
it as usual remains unknown why it's like that. Venture is a bit more widely
used than the Runabout, but not as widely used as the Galleon though.

scout in space.

does have small shielding, which can defend it quite well, though once those
are down there's really nothing else that can protect you since Mudd doesn't
have any armor at all and has quite weak hull. Totally every citizens don't
have this shuttle, but it can be asked from military or can be received by doing
enough work. There are quite a lot of Mudds flying around. Military is constantly
trying to find Mudds that have been equipped with weapons.
Here is picture of Mudd.
