Design details
- Main article: Bumblebee
Found onboard UNSC prowlers,[2] the Class-5 Bumblebee has one pilot seat and an unknown amount of crash seats. The seats have harnesses to keep people from injury when crash-landing.[3] Though fast, tiny, and difficult to track, a single shot from a heavy plasma weapon will instantly destroy the craft. However, Class-5 Bumblebees are heavily armored, and resistant to small-arms plasma weapons. Like Pelican dropships and fellow Class-3 Bumblebees, each has a call sign, usually consisting of three letters from the Phonetic Alphabet, followed by a number. As with other models, the Class-5 Bumblebee features thrusters—forward and rear—as well as air-brakes. The Class-5 Bumblebee notably boasts a large rear bay capable of storing a heavy weapons cache, Slipspace drive, or even several cryo-chambers.[2]
Operational History
The prowler UNSC Vacuna carried at least one of these Bumblebees which was utilized by Spartan-II Gray Team to safely escape the destruction of Glyke in December, 2552 and, six years later, to flee the Unwavering Discipline before crash-landing on the planet Carrow.[2][4]
