== Description ==
The Lightning Bug is a small defensive ship, mostly used by the Hai as a convoy escort. The Lightning Bug, as with many insects, works best in a swarm: even a small number of Lightning Bugs can manage to leave the largest of ships helpless with their stock-fitted Ion Cannons.

== Performance Information ==
Lightning Bugs are effective patrols ships and they are useful for supporting slower heavy warships. The standard Lightning Bug that uses Ion Cannons is arguably the more dangerous of the two types, as it can outmaneuver enemy ships and slowly disable them. This armament is coupled with a set of anti-missile systems that allows this version of the Lightning Bug to survive ships that rely on missile weapons to take care of speedier targets.
The Unfettered variant, by contrast, is outfitted to be more of a short-range gunship that engages enemies directly, and it has an armament of Pulse Turrets because of that. However, this variant lacks anti-missile technology to protect the ship.
== Notes ==
*The Lightning Bug is one of the few ships to have more than one variant available for sale.
*The design of the Lightning Bug deliberately resembles Star Wars' Millenium Falcon.
