Troop Strength is based on a formula that includes Weapon and dDR (plus some other combat systems). The Work Bug has a large mining laser and is fairly well armored, making it attack capable. At TS 583 it is well below any of the other attack-capable SM+5 ships. For full details see the rules for calculating Spaceship TS from Pyramid #3/30.

If you want to zero out the TS get rid of the Weapon Battery then create a User System called "Mining Laser" that uses 1 PP and has the cost of a Major Weapon Battery.
