Escape pods are small crafts kept aboard starships to allow for a speedy evacuation in the event of imminent destruction. Every Starfleet vessel is equipped with several of these, which are integrated into the hull. Escape pods are neither armed nor warp-capable.

- The escape pods seen in the game are modeled off the ones carried by the U.S.S. Enterprise-E as seen in Star Trek: First Contact.
