The Ferengi shuttle (also sometimes referred to as a Ferengi pod) was an auxiliary vehicle utilized by prominent businessmen in the Ferengi Alliance during the 24th century.

Ferengi shuttles were warp capable vessels said to be fast enough to outrun a Romulan interceptor. These vessels were known to vary in size and could be outfitted with phasers and deflector shields.

Typically these shuttles had a small control area in the front, with rudimentary sleeping quarters, and cargo hold in the back. They were also equipped with such creature comforts as a waste extraction unit and a replicator. (VOY: "False Profits"; DS9: "Little Green Men") The shuttle had room to transport from as few as two, to as many as eight occupants. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")

Introduced prior to 2366, these vessels were the standard shuttle-type found aboard Template:ShipClass Marauders. Simultaneously, these vessels were also owned on an individual basis: Grand Nagus Zek had a personal shuttle, as did FCA Liquidator Brunt and Ferengi entrepreneur Quark. These shuttles were also known to exist in the mirror universe. (TNG: "The Price")
