| Class: | Shuttlepod |

NC-05 was the registry for an United Earth shuttlepod that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-22nd century, attached to Starfleet Command. It had blue and silver streamlines.
In 2153, the shuttlepod carried Commander Williams and Admiral Forrest to the Arctic Circle. (ENT: "Regeneration")
In 2154, this shuttle carried the senior officers of Enterprise NX-01 to the San Francisco Bay Stadium, where Captain Jonathan Archer gave a speech to a huge crowd of people, after Enterprise had saved Earth from the Xindi threat. (ENT: "Home")
While the registry was clearly seen only in "Home", according to Doug Drexler, it was the same shuttle that was seen in "Regeneration". [1]
Dexler didn't know why the NC was chosen for the registry, other than the obvious reference to the Matt Jefferies plane. [2] [3] However production illustrator John Eaves had previously assigned a NC-registry to the Sarajevo-type starship in a design sketch. The 05 was a reference to the travel pod 05 seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a number frequently put on various small crafts throughout the franchise by the production staff. [4]
