The Shuttlecraft Ericksen was assigned to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in the 2260s.
In 2269, Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and Dr. McCoy, took the Ericksen down to the surface of the planet Sanctuary in pursuit of the renegade pirate, Auk-Rex. The party were forced to abandon the Ericksen when it was discovered that they could not leave the surface of the planet. The Ericksen herself was raided by fellow prisoners, in their attempts to leave the surface. (TOS novel: Sanctuary).
