A CT-8 Courier Shuttlepod of the EFS Zeus
The Courier remains the standard Cutter aboard nearly all human starships, nearly 50 years after its introduction. It is a small space-only craft used to ferry up to 6 personnel or a few tons of light cargo between ships and starbases. It cannot enter an atmosphere, and has a very limited endurance. It is manufactured on Minos by the Ferret Works, a subsidiary of Harrington Industries.
