The '''SKT-9 Bumblebee''',{{Ref/Book|Id=Warfleet|HWF|Page=30}} formally known as the '''Class-3 Enclosed Heavy Lifeboat, Controlled''',{{Ref/Game|Id=library|HCEA|Library (feature)|Library|Detail=Bumblebee}} is a variant of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] lifeboat commonly known as the [[Bumblebee]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Bungie Weekly Update/04-13-01|''Bungie.net'', Bungie Weekly Update of 04-13-01]]}} It is a sixth-generation lifeboat, and features a pilot-operated guiding system similar to that of [[SKT-13 shuttlecraft|SKT-13]] and [[SKT-21 shuttlecraft|SKT-21]] shuttlecrafts.{{Ref/Reuse|library}}


Class-3 lifeboats are typically found on UNSC [[cruiser]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|library}} which carry several sets of them, stationed at designated [[airlock]]s. 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. This Bumblebee can hold up to nine people (including the pilot) and it has enough supplies to last a week before it runs out of food and clean air.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page ??''</ref>

===Design details===
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.

The SKT-9 was designed to ferry up to nine people at a time. 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. 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.

Though the Bumblebee has a pilot control station, by default it uses a simple escape-and-evasion autopilot routine after boosting away from its host vessel.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Halo/status/1195356027878699008 ''Halo on Twitter'':] ''The SKT-9 Bumblebee is a heavy lifeboat that can hold up to eight passengers and has a pilot control station, though by default it uses a simple escape-and-evasion autopilot routine after boosting away from its host vessel. #FictionFriday''</ref>

There may be some animosity between Bumblebee pilots and Pelican pilots; during the Battle of Installation 04, [[Carol Rawley]] noted she would rather die piloting her own Pelican than trust her fate to "some lifeboat jockey".{{Ref/Reuse|tf1}}

*The Bumblebee's front window is "breakable". If one uses explosives to propel a Warthog at the window at a high speed, the window will make a breaking sound but will still appear to be intact.

*In ''[[Halo: Custom Edition]]'', Bumblebees can be [[Modding|modded]] into maps. They have closed rear hatches until a player pilots them, at which point the hatch opens. As Bungie only designed these for cutscenes, it is likely to allow for the doors opening or closing during the final cutscene on ''The Pillar Of Autumn''.
*When the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s escape pod launches in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', it still has its rear hatch open. This has been rectified in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''.

The SKT-9 Bumblebee,[5] formally known as the Class-3 Enclosed Heavy Lifeboat, Controlled,[2] is a variant of the UNSC lifeboat commonly known as the Bumblebee.[1][6] It is a sixth-generation lifeboat, and features a pilot-operated guiding system similar to that of SKT-13 and SKT-21 shuttlecrafts.[2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The SKT-9 Bumblebee is a medium-endurance (Class 3) vehicle;[1] it is well armored, though Jacob Keyes considered that a 12.7x40mm round may penetrate the relatively thin hull.[7] They are typically found on UNSC cruisers,[2] which carry several sets of them, stationed at designated airlocks. Several SKT-9 Bumblebees were carried aboard Cairo Station.[5] The docking ports for Bumblebees are comparable in size to the Brhi Xur-pattern Leech boarding craft used by the Covenant, allowing the Covenant to use the airlocks to conduct boarding actions on UNSC spacecraft.[8]

Like Pelican and other dropships, each has a call sign, usually consisting of three letters from the phonetic alphabet, followed by a two-digit number.[9] SKT-9 Bumblebees are equipped with beacons,[10] and possess limited visual and audio capture capabilities.[11]

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.[1] It has one pilot seat as well as eight side-facing crash seats. The seats have harnesses to keep passengers from injury when crash-landing.[3][4] Though they are noted as being one of the safer methods of UNSC ship evacuation,[2] 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, if not all, aboard upon impact.[10]

SKT-9 Bumblebees employ thrusters and air-brakes to slow down during descent.[2] Although it has a pilot control station,[1][12] the Bumblebee has little in the way of maneuverability, as it is not intended for extended atmospheric use, nor are its thrusters powerful enough to escape a planet's atmosphere;[3][4] Jacob Keyes noted that a Bumblebee lifeboat "flew like a rock".[9] Instead, the lifeboat using a simple escape-and-evasion autopilot routine after boosting away from its host vessel.[1][12] Once it enters atmosphere, the Bumblebee makes a controlled crash landing with aerobraking panels and drogue chutes.[1] Thus, after a landing, the lifeboat can never be used again, as the air brakes disengage upon descent; the lifeboat would have likely suffered a great amount of damage as well.[3][4]

There may be some animosity between Bumblebee pilots and Pelican pilots; during the Battle of Installation 04, Carol Rawley noted she would rather die piloting her own Pelican than trust her fate to "some lifeboat jockey".[7]

Known SKT-9 Bumblebees[edit]

Operational History[edit]

The Halcyon-class light cruiser UNSC Pillar of Autumn carried eighteen of these Bumblebees. Most of them were used to evacuate the vessel when it was shot down during the Battle over Installation 04 on September 19, 2552.[10] At least one was destroyed by the Covenant when it was ejected from the vessel,[8] while at least six made landfall on the ring.[9][10] In the final stages of the conflict, John-117 originally intended to take one of the remaining lifeboats on the Autumn to escape from the ring's destruction.[13][14]

Production notes[edit]

  • When the Master Chief's lifeboat launches in Halo: Combat Evolved, its rear hatch remains open. This was rectified in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
  • In Halo: Custom Edition, Bumblebees can be modded into maps. They have closed rear hatches until a player pilots them, at which point the hatch opens. As Bungie only designed these for cutscenes, it is likely to allow for the doors opening or closing during the final cutscene on The Pillar Of Autumn.
  • There is an Easter egg underneath the pilot's seat with text that reads "put your head 'teen your legs & kiss your ass good bye!".[15]
