6986 Mission Commander 6986 Mission Commander is a Space Police I set released in 1989 . It contains a large Space Police starship , a small truck , two Space Police I red - neon jail cells and two small spacecraft . It also contained two Space Police Officer s and a Blacktron prisoner . Description . Despite its enormous size , the spaceship offers little room inside due to the centre section housing a rack mechanism that opens the storage bay for the truck , doubling as the cockpit for the spaceship . When released , the small truck can be used to transport the jail cells . The top of the cockpit may open or close to insert or take out one minifigure . On either side of the cockpit is a pair of laser cannons . There are two more lasers on the front of the starship . Behind the cockpit section is a transparent - red area . This does not seem to have any particular purpose , however . This section is Black and Blue with a large amount of transparent - red . The next section is the wings . They each carry a small spacecraft under the transparent - red parts , which can be lifted via an angle part . At the end of each wing is a laser cannon . The laser and the fin that it is attached to can be lifted , allowing another section of the wings to angle out , which in turn allows the landing section to be removed . Another feature of the wings section is the rack part . Their is a knob which can be turned , sliding open the cockpit . The TECHNIC Rack cannot move past a certain point due to a pair of slope parts . This section is mostly black with some blue and a bit of transparent - red appearing . The landing section is connected to the wings via a pair of TECHNIC axles . The end of the TECHNIC Rack is inserted into this section . It uses many large parts to create a boxy - shape similar to a plus . It is covered with a large plate which can be lifted . Connected to the plate is the back of the section . On either side are a pair of plates which are used to slot in the Jail Cells . On top of these are lights . On top of the box section is a satellite dish . The landing section is mostly black and blue . Lastly are the vehicles and jail cells . There are three vehicles : two spaceships and a rover . The rover is stored inside the cockpit and is where the ship is controlled from . It is blue and black and piloted by one astronaut . The rover can carry one Jail Cell on it ' s back . It also has a pair of lights and a laser . The two spaceships are identical . They are both stored on the wings , one on each . On the back of each ship is a pair of thrusters . They have no weaponry and can be piloted by one minifigure at a time . The Jail Cells are more complex than the vehicles . They are two in number . The colour scheme of the Jail Cells is a Blue and Black with some Transparent Red . On the back of the cells are windows . The top of the cells can be lifted via a hinge , and connected to the top are the jail bars . On either side of the Jail Cells are the Space Police I logo . On the backside of these cells are a pair of parts which allow them to slot into the ship or the smaller rover . Minifigures . Like many other of Space ' s largest Starships , the Mission Commander comes with three minifigures . The minifigures included with this set are two Space Police officers and a Blacktron criminal . The Blacktron Criminal has the Standard Blacktron Shirt , Black Legs , Helmet , and Visor , and a Black Jetpack . The Space Police Officers are the same as Futuron astronauts except that their helmets have a transparent - red visor and that their suits are black , which is a rarity in Futuron . Background . The Mission Commander is the head of the Space Police I fleet . It carries smaller ships in their fleet , and transports Blacktron prisoners to their Space Isolation base .
