The SKT-13 shuttlecraft is a human space shuttle. They are used to ferry UNSC material and personnel to and from various locations or ships.[2]

Design

The SKT-13 has a similar control system to the SKT-9 Bumblebee and SKT-21 shuttlecraft[3], essentially a larger version of the SKT-9.[2] Due to the shuttle's small size, it is one of the few craft that can be carried in the hangar bay of a UNSC corvette, but even one is still a tight fit.[2]

The interior of the SKT-13 has centre-facing seats, fitted with a U-shaped restraining bar.[2]

Operational history

In 2524, a SKT-13 shuttlecraft carried by the fast-attack corvette Two for Flinching was used to transport Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson and Corpsman Petty Officer First Class Healy to the Tiara, a space station in equatorial geosynchronous orbit over Utgard, on the planet Harvest.[2]
