Description: Small, adorable, and functional the EGG Droid was one of Bankei Technologies' first designs. Designed to aid in the repopulation of Orax's flora as well as survey the general health of Orax. A bipedal shell of a droid lacking a droid brain, the EGG is designed to work in conjunction with Fragments. By producing positive signals when the Fragment does things that comply with the droid's on board task completion software the droid trains Fragments to become skilled and thorough explorers. Naturally curious this partnership between Fragment and robotics has worked wonders for Orax.

The bipedal droid is capable of traveling great distances without requiring a recharge due to its extended solar powered power pack. Its durasteel frame allows it to take a bit of a beating from spills or drops. The plastoid body and reinforced joints and servos also aid in fall damage being reduced. Its thin body allows it and its comrades to get into almost any crevice and its retractable legs allow it to burrow underground as well. The single photoreceptor on the droid also doubles as a floodlight.

Equipped with powerful sensors and complex sample collection software EGGS of many models (Mk. 4 is the newest version) can be found throughout Orax. However, because they are so plentiful they are privy to being corrupted by the electromagnetic disturbances caused by much of Omni's hidden remaining tech, sometimes causing them to go rogue. This means that the EGGS are the most common Rogue Fragment out there and can be a real nuisance to settlers as going Rogue is contagious among Fragments.
