The SKT-9 Bumblebee is a medium-endurance (Class 3) | The SKT-9 Bumblebee is a medium-endurance (Class 3) vehicle;{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} it is well armored, though [[Jacob Keyes]] considered that a [[12.7x40mm]] round may penetrate the relatively thin hull.{{Ref/Novel|Id=tf1|TF|Chapter=1}} They are typically found on UNSC [[cruiser]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|library}} which carry several sets of them, stationed at designated [[airlock]]s. Several SKT-9 Bumblebees were carried aboard [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]].{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} Like [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropships, each has a call sign, usually consisting of three letters from the [[phonetic alphabet]], followed by a two-digit number.{{Ref/Novel|Id=tf2|TF|Chapter=2}} SKT-9 Bumblebees are equipped with beacons,{{Ref/Reuse|halo}} and possess limited visual and audio capture capabilities.{{Ref/Novel|TF|Detail=[[Halo: The Flood#2010 bonus content|Adjunct]]}} | ||
The SKT-9 can hold up to nine people (including the pilot), and it has enough supplies to support 126-person-days of life support.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} It has one pilot seat as well as eight side-facing crash seats. The seats have harnesses to keep people from injury when crash-landing.{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} Though they are noted as being one of the safer methods of UNSC ship evacuation,{{Ref/Reuse|library}} the effectiveness of the safety features on this Bumblebee vary greatly, as can their reliability. During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], some of these Bumblebees landed without any injuries to their passengers, while others suffered catastrophic failures while in mid-air, resulting in the deaths of most or all aboard upon impact.{{Ref/Reuse|halo}} | The SKT-9 can hold up to nine people (including the pilot), and it has enough supplies to support 126-person-days of life support.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} It has one pilot seat as well as eight side-facing crash seats.
