The X-Shuttle is only available as a plot reward for the Treasure Hunt plot. The X-Shuttle fits a wide variety of weapons from both the Terrans and the Commonwealth. It is one of the top fighters available, but due to its prize nature it is rarely used in fights unless the player is flying it. The X-Shuttle has a wide weapon compatibility, is fast, and well fortified. It also had some glowing lines added to certain places on its hull. In the 25 years that passed since Kyle gave the X to the Argons, it had a spinal-mounted turret installed right behind the cockpit, giving it another pair of guns to fire. A slim fuselage with an inverted V-tail and engine pods mounted as wings, the X-Shuttle is very much one-of-a-kind. The X-Shuttle is a unique design, reflecting its unique specification. The Teladi tried to take the Shuttle for herself, however, another person, who was also looking for the ship got in her way, and took her, along with the X, to Argon Prime's Shipyard, where the ship was fixed and given to its saviour. A Teladi treasure hunter found the Colossus and the X in Xenon Sector 101, where the Yaki hid it. In 2913, after a failed attempt to repair the Jumpdrive, the X was given to the Argon Federation, and it remained in their possession until 768 NT/2938 EY, when a group of Yaki boarded and stole the Colossus that was transporting the ship. The Shuttle materialised in the Teladi Space Company capital sector of Seizewell, right in front of a Phoenix, beginning the chain of events that would lead to the destruction of the Xenon M0-class mothership. The jump test went wrong, as although the jump was successful, it was not on target and overloaded all of the X-Shuttle's systems, and damaged the jumpdrive beyond repair. In 2912, The X was flown by Earth pilot Kyle William Brennan. It was originally designed as a shuttle that could fly both in a planet's atmosphere and in outer space. The prototype, equipped with the Terran version of this point-to-point jumpdrive, was intended to allow the Terrans to begin a second wave of expansion without relying on the Xenon-infested jumpgate network. The USC X, also known as the Xperimental Shuttle, or "Le Petit X" by its designers, is a Terran ship built from a reverse-engineered Xenon scoutship that arrived in the Solar System with a gateless jumpdrive. It also attracted the attention of people when it landed at stations, as the ship is unique. When the ship was built it was considered to be the fastest ship of its class, due to its revolutionary Matter/Anti-Matter drives. Argon scientists are still trying to fix the ship and get its drive back into working order. This ship was supposed to be able to cross vast distances without having to use jumpgates, by generating its own wormhole. Not much is known about the ship known as the Xperimental Shuttle. The Xperimental Shuttle is a fast and powerful M3 class ship with a colorful history.
