Lang's shuttle was a Hideki-class Cardassian shuttle operated by Professor Natima Lang. In 2370, her shuttle became disabled near Bajor and was tractored into Deep Space 9 after having its engines completely disabled and its life support systems were operating on reserve power. Although Lang claimed they were damaged in a meteor swarm, it was clear to Miles O'Brien that the ship had been hit by disruptors. It was later determined that it was attacked by a Galor-class warship, which later arrived at DS9 to arrest the shuttle's crew.
