Starbug

The JMC transport vehicle Starbug is a small shuttle craft from the television series Red Dwarf. It Is green in colour and has three bulbous sections; the cockpit, mid-section and engine rooms. Starbug is featured from the third series of Red Dwarf, replacing Blue Midget as the crew's primary choice of shuttle and became the show's primary craft in series 6 and 7 when Red Dwarf was 'lost'. Since series 6, Starbug has been armed with laser cannons.

It originally seemed as though there were only 2 Starbugs on Red Dwarf. Throughout the series, Starbug 1 has crashed many times and always seemed to be fully repaired by the next episode. In series 8 it was revealed that there was an entire fleet of Starbugs (and Blue Midgets) stored on Red Dwarf.
