Mirror universe
An escape shuttle was a type of escape pod kept aboard the Regent's flagship of the mirror universe.
Following the unconditional surrender of Regent Worf, Intendant Kira Nerys quietly left the bridge, apparently seeking Ezri Tigan. Upon locating her, Kira told Ezri that they had to get to one of the escape shuttles, but the latter denied the request, and allowed Kira to continue on her way unharmed.
