Capabilities
| - The Bug is made of a metallic alloy of titanium and steel panels, and is equipped with solar collector panels, which are its main power supply. As protection, the ship has thick reinforced armor and automatic deflector shields, while the fuselage has electric charges and a solar energy converter that shoots thermal bursts. The control unit contains flight and weapons controls and various sensors.
The pilot`s chair can move from the helm to the portable crime lab, which includes a computer, communications center, television, stereo and a closet with spare uniforms and several changes of civilian clothes..
The ship is extremely quiet when in flight, thanks to antigravity units on the port and starboard. It can circle on autopilot and has jets capable of propelling it at the speed of 1600 km/hour. A diving mode can be enabled to travel underwater, reaching a depth of up to 300 meters.
