Sirna Kolrami's Transport Shuttle

A compact, short-range transport shuttle whose arrival announces a high-stakes diplomatic transfer. Metal-skinned and utilitarian rather than ceremonial, it disgorges Sirna Kolrami onto the Enterprise bridge where Riker escorts him toward the Observation Lounge. Officers fix on the shuttle’s approach and disembarkation; the craft functions as a contained, mobile presence that compresses space and attention into the moment Kolrami steps aboard.
