Very little is known about this lesser known Sontaran ship type. The Sontaran Boarding Craft was a slender, yet small scout vessel, that had five rear facing engines that propelled the vessel forward, and that despite it's small size, it was surprisenly quite capable of making long distances, even without the aid of a mothership, like the [[War-Wheel|War-Wheel Battlecruiser]]. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans (home video)|Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'') The Sontaran Boarding Craft, being a shuttle, also had four visible landing gear-like legs, indicating that it can also land on the surface of a planet, even in dire emergency situations.

It was armed with two pairs of laser cannons on either side of the spherical pod forward section exterior of the ship itself. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans (home video)|Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'') It also had a forward facing airlock door on the front of the vessel, that is used to board enemy ships, so they can deploy Sontaran troops to storm said vessel.

([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans (home video)|Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'') Despite being built and operated by the Sontarans, other species such as [[Rutan|Rutans]], can easily operate and fly a Sontaran Boarding Craft with no difficulty.  ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans (home video)|Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'')
