A shuttlecraft of the Enterprise-D that Captain Picard handed over to Montgomery Scott in 2369, on extended loan, after the old engineer's rescue from the Jenolan.
The Goddard was one of the shuttlecraft carried by the Enterprise-D, named after the rocketry pioneer Robert Goddard.
It appears in the closing scene of Relics. Scotty, recovered after seventy-five years held in a transporter buffer, has helped Geordi La Forge free the Enterprise from the Dyson sphere at the cost of his old ship, the Jenolan. He no longer wants the retirement on Norpin colony he was heading for in 2294.
Picard and the senior officers see him off in the shuttlebay, where the captain presents the Goddard to him on what he calls extended loan. Scotty tells La Forge to make the most of his time as a starship's engineer and flies off to see what the 24th century has to offer.
