Two AC-409 Valkyrie III Fighters are based aboard the Ariadne. Every member of the ship's Flight Control Department must be qualified to pilot the fighters. They provide the Ariadne with flexible platforms for various missions calling for quick defensively-armed auxiliary craft. Art work here was created by Auctor-Lucan.

One of the newer auxiliary craft in service, the Argo Class shuttle is made for heavy-duty operations where the carrying of large cargo or numerous personnel is necessary. The Aridane’s Argo shuttles have been modified with ablative armor and higher power shield systems. This has resulted in lower impulse speeds yet greater survivability in emergencies.

SHUTTLE 12 – MAKO, SHUTTLE 14 – TIGER

The Ariadne carries 3 Type-10 Shuttlecraft. These craft are hardened vessels designed along the hull configuration of the Defiant-Class starship. These ruggedized vessels are ideal for flight operations in all hostile environments.

SHUTTLE 02 - REMORA, SHUTTLE 04 - MANTA, SHUTTLE 06 - GAR

The Ariadne also carries 3 Type-14 Shuttlecraft designer for medium range operations. These shuttles are fully warp capable and have been fitted with universal docking rings.
