The Chimeran shuttle is a transportation aircraft. These vehicles are box-shaped, controlled via pilot-operated computers (the numerous blue screens with Chimeran controls underneath). Like the battleships of the Chimeran Fleet that have computerized controls and no surrounding windows, this feature can be attributed to a tactical choice; trading a cockpit, and the numerous visibility advantages that come with it, for computers, allowing the cockpit to be reinforced. This is an oddly defensive building strategy for the normally highly offensive Chimera. Like the rest of the Chimeran Fleet, the shuttle has no obvious propulsion mechanism, seemingly aesthetic attachments, and several lights.
