The '''Command Shuttle''' was a vessel type in use by the [[United Nations Space Command]] <ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]]''</ref>. It was likely designed for the purpose of transporting senior officers from ship to land.

==Overview==
===Battle of Installation 04===
During the opening phases of the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the command shuttle is the lifeboat that brought down all the vital bridge crew from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to the surface of Installation 04.


During the [[Battle over Installation 04|opening phases]] of the [[Battle of Installation 04]] in [[2552]], the command shuttle referred to by Cortana was presumably the specialised [[SKT-9 Bumblebee]] craft used by the command crew of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to escape the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and coordinate the UNSC forces on [[Installation 04]], prior to the bridge crew's [[Landing on Installation 04#Capturing the command crew|capture]] by Covenant forces.
===Speculation===
This could be where [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] was transmitting his message to [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] during the [[Battle of the Silent Cartographer]]. He couldn't have been on the ''Autumn'' because it had crashed. However, he could have been on a [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican Dropship]], or it may refer to [[Alpha Base]]. This theory has been disproved. During the time of the assault on the Cartographer, Keyes was on Alpha Base, overseeing the assault. He also was readying for the attack on the "weapons cache" in the Swamp.


==Trivia==
The Command Shuttle may have been an [[SKT-13 Shuttlecraft]], a larger version of the [[Bumblebee|Bumblebee Lifepod]], used to transfer the survivors to the Firebase.
The command shuttle is mentioned passingly in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' but it is not mentioned in the game's novelization, ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''. Instead, [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] serves as the UNSC's command center.
