Onizuka
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The shuttlepod Onizuka was a type 15 shuttlepod assigned to the USS Enterprise-D. It was shuttlepod 07.
In 2366, Lieutenant Commander Data used the Onizuka to land on planet Tau Cygna V and investigate the presence of a human colony there, as the planet's atmosphere interfered with transporters. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge flew the Onizuka to Risa in late 2367. En route, he was taken captive by a Romulan warbird and brainwashed to participate in a plan to assassinate Klingon governor Vagh. A double of La Forge continued to Risa, and the real La Forge was returned to the Onizuka for return to the Enterprise. Although the Romulans erased all information about the encounter from the Onizuka's computers, Commander Data found evidence which indicated the memory wipe as well as hull microfractures caused by stress from the Romulan tractor beam. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
The Onizuka was seen parked next to the shuttlecraft Magellan in 2368. (TNG: "The Outcast")
- Named for Ellison Onizuka, one of the astronauts who died aboard the space shuttle Challenger in 1986. During its first appearance, the Onizuka was given the number 05, left over from its previous appearance as the El-Baz, but this was corrected in subsequent episodes.
