SPECIAL FEATURES

• Guardian Mote Design: Each mote is a tiny spherical droid with several small lenses and a compact shield projector.
• Linked Shielding: Multiple motes can link together to form a stronger shared shield.
• Hover Movement: The motes use micro-repulsorlifts to float near assigned targets.
• Target Linking: The motes can follow approved wristcoms, bracers, helmets, targeting systems, or IFF signals.
• Hive Coordination: The motes use simple shared programming to hold formation and maintain coverage.

STRENGTHS

• Protective Swarm: Multiple motes can link together to form a stronger shield.
• Mobile Cover: The motes can hover with the protected target.
• Target Linked: The motes can follow linked signals from approved devices.
• Redundant Numbers: Losing one mote weakens the shield, but the remaining motes can continue operating.

WEAKNESSES

• Small Frames: The motes are tiny and lightly built; direct hits, crushing force, shrapnel, or rough impacts can disable them.
• Swarm Loss: The shield weakens as motes are destroyed, separated, jammed, or forced out of formation.
• Signal Dependent: Jamming, slicer interference, sensor clutter, or damaged linked devices can disrupt target tracking and coordination.
• Shield Overload: Heavy weapons, sustained fire, ion damage, EMP, or concentrated attacks can collapse the shared shield.

DESCRIPTION
The Guardian Motes are tiny spherical shield droids made by Braze for protection work. They float near assigned targets and link together to project a shared shield.

The motes are meant to protect civilians, medics, evacuees, escorts, and approved personnel during dangerous movement. They can be paired with wristcoms, bracers, helmets, targeting systems, or IFF signals so they know who to follow and shield.
