Shuttle bay - Notes

Universe :	Prime Timeline
Name :	Shuttle bay [1]

Facility on board a space vessel which is dedicated to storing, launching and landing shuttlecraft. [1] Most Federation shuttle bays are equipped with a forcefield which allows shuttles to pass through whilst holding the atmosphere inside, thus allowing the bay to operate without having to depressurise. [2] Standard practice is to bring shuttles aboard via a tractor beam rather than under their own power, although this can be done in an emergency. [3]
