The Asteria was an in-system shuttle of the Hypatia System Patrol.
She operated with the shuttle ID# 179-PPE-6 and the call sign One-Seven-Niner-Papa-Papa-Echo-Six.
In August 1922 PD, crewed by Lieutenant Paulette Kilgore and Sergeant John Debnam, she was one of numerous shuttles attempting to evacuate civilians from the Prásino Phúllo Habitat in orbit of Hypatia when Task Force 1030, Solarian League Navy, intended to execute an Operation Buccaneer strike on the planet's orbital industry.
In the aftermath of the subsequent Battle of Hypatia, she assisted in search and rescue operations, eventually locating an escape pod from HMS Phantom that contained Rear Admiral Jan Kotouč and Commander Markéta Ilkova. (HH14)
