The ESS Quetzel[1][2], also known as The Shuttle[3] is a reusable nuclear-powered spacecraft built before the Great War. There is one located in the ruins of San Francisco, at Golden Gate, though it lacks either rocket boosters or an external fuel tank; a quest involves finding fuel for it.

There are two endings for the Hubologists regarding the shuttle that are inaccessible due to incomplete scripting. If the Chosen One does not get them fuel, the Hubologists use a cheap alternative, resulting in the shuttle blowing up during liftoff. If they get fuel, the liftoff is without complications, but the shuttle's air insulation is damaged, resulting in the Hubologist crew suffocating in space.
