A travel pod is a small Federation shuttlecraft used by facilities like the San Francisco Fleet Yards to transfer personnel to drydocks or spaceships. In 2272 Admiral Kirk used one of these pods (number 05) to ferry from the orbital office complex to the refitted USS Enterprise. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
