A newly constructed Malon shuttle
The Malon shuttle was a shuttle created by the Malon in 2375 to withstand the pressure of a gas giant, so that the Malon ship could steal a multispatial probe.
Initially, a Malon ship attempted to capture the probe while it was trapped inside the gas giant: but they were destroyed. A second Malon ship, under the command of Controller Vrelk arrived shortly there after, and entered into a "space race" with the USS Voyager to see who could build a shuttle capable of withstanding the pressures of the giant.
Not long after Voyager began work on the "Delta Flyer," the Malon began work on their shuttle. Like Voyager's shuttle, it was also constructed using tetraburnium alloy to reinforce the hull.
The shuttle launched only a couple minutes before the Flyer, but before either could reach it the two got into a battle. The Malon shuttle used spatial charges, but was quickly disabled by the Delta Flyer's Borg-enhanced weaponry. They then became trapped in a thermal layer of the planets atmosphere, distracting the Malon transport ship long enough for Voyager to get away with their probe. (VOY: "Extreme Risk")
