This craft is basically a stripped-down, one-man spacecraft with an extremely
limited operating range. It is used when external hull repair work is required.
A total of 13 different modules, either individually or in combination, can be
attached to the WorkBee, depending upon the assigned tasks. These modules are
stored in Repair and Maintenance Center.
The following modules, or packs, are available for use on a WorkBee:
Booster Pack. provides additional towing capacity and/or minor warp
capability
Clamper Pack: adds external mechanical arms which allow for
manipulation of large objects
Cutter Pack: includes a fusion cutting torch for access to or removal
of portions of the external hull
Drone Pack: replaces the pilot with a independent computer to perform
operations not requiring hands-on supervision
Floodlight Pack: supplies large-scale illumination for repair
operations
Grabber Pack: outfits the WorkBee with a less-sophisticated mechanical
arm than provided by the Clamper Pack
Heavy Booster Pack: increases towing capacity and supplies medium warp
capability
Sensor Pack: enables the craft to support detailed sensor operations
Spinner Pack: allows for spot welding of hull plates and cable
spooling
Survey Pack: equips the craft with the ability to perform simple
survey tasks
Tow-Hitch Pack: enables a WorkBee to physically tow objects
Tractor Pack: supplies tractor beam capabilities
Welder Pack: supports precision welding in tight quarters
