The Admiral's Boat is a customised dropship, designed to carry a Flag Officer in relative comfort along with a small unit of bodyguards as opposed to the standard dropship, which is designed to carry as many troopers as possible. One of these boats would be stationed per capital ship, near the command deck of vessels such as the Athena class, and Corvette Transport instead of landing in a hangar bay. When docked, the boat's airlock would open directly into a hallway of the ship once the lock is airtight.
