The Reeves was a shuttlecraft attached to the USS Progress in the 2360s, named for 20th and 21st century NASA software engineer Glenn Reeves. Lieutenant Xavier and Dr. Katherine Pulaski took the Reeves to the surface of Drema IV following a dilithium mine collapse, and used it as a base for the medical relief effort that followed.
