The glider for the commanding officer, often shortened to just glider, was a shuttle that incorporated a hyperdrive.
These shuttles were deployed on Chiss capital ships to provide transportation for the highest-ranking officer present. It represented the only long-distance shuttle type commonly allocated to starships belonging to the same class as the Chaf Envoy.
Given that the Chaf Envoy functioned as a diplomatic vessel, its glider was designated for the use of Aristocra Formbi instead of Captain Talshib. The Aristocra utilized it to retrieve Dean Jinzler following a meeting with Jorj Car'das.
