NCC-1701/5

The NCC-1701/5 was a Federation class F shuttlecraft in service to Starfleet in the 23rd century. The shuttle was assigned to the Federation starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in the 2260s.

Service history
In the 2260s, renegade exile killed three crewmen in the shuttle bay of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), then fled the ship aboard NCC-1701/5. He landed the shuttle near his moon base Zettin, where he reactivated a robot army to defend himself from attack. Kirk and Spock pursued him to the base aboard the Galileo, accompanied by NCC-1701/3 and an unspecified shuttle. 

Exploratory teams boarded NCC-1701/5 and NCC-1701/3 to study the planet. During their travel through the atmosphere, a strange, rapidly-growing fungus began to grow on the hulls of both ships. The fungus enveloped both shuttles, suddenly cutting off engine power. NCC-1701/5 veered wildly and crashed into the side of a mountain, leaving no survivors. 


 * A successor vessel with that registry, the shuttlecraft  Copernicus, was in service aboard the Enterprise by the year 2273.
