===Small Craft===

[[Category:BattleTech]]
* '''KR-61 Long-Range Shuttlecraft''': the most common aerodyne small craft in use, it’s usually used for ferrying passengers between ships. Also comes with armed boarding version called the ''NL-43 Battle Taxi'' and another variant with clanner tier armor.
* '''K-1 DropShuttle''': a spherical small scraft, while technically a DropShip due to possessing a Docking Collar, its mass below the 200 tonne definition of DropShip classifies it as a Small Craft. Lightly armed for self defense, the Clans created their own version.
* '''Aquarius/Lyonesse''': the former being younger and larger by several dozen tonnes, both of these Free Worlds League small craft originated as armed surface-to-orbit escort vessels with armament equal to small DropShips. They got superseded by more versalile Aerospace Fighters but made a comeback during the Blakist Jihad with upgrades. The Wobbies in particular converted them into flying artillery craft that land and shoot before flying away.
* '''NL-42 Battle Taxi''': originally brought by the [[Mercenaries (Battletech)#Well Known Units|Wolf’s Dragoons]] Clan mercenaries to the Inner Sphere as the ''Lupus,'' this export version removed the ClanTech but remains in use as an armed [[Boarding Torpedo|boarding]] [[Shark Assault Boat|vessel]].
