SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Equipped with a Ghostwave Communicator. The device is discreet, equipped with potent anti-tampering software and uses non-traditional transmissions to ensure communications security. Combined with its comprehensive sensor suite and intelligence, this makes it perfect for large-scale surveillance and espionage. The incorporation of a laser target designator allows the droid to mark targets for say air, artillery or orbital strikes with a very high degree of accuracy. It can serve as a spotter, which also makes it useful for snipers.
  • Controlled by a droid brain, but can be modified to be controlled by a remote operator.
  • GPO-12 "Ironmaze" Threat-Prevention Suite provides decent protection from slicing, including more arcane forms of tampering.
  • The droid has a limited ability to slice into computer systems. Sophisticated ones are beyond it, but its capabilities suffice for overcoming basic military-grade and most civilian security systems.
STRENGTHS
  • Fly on the wall and eyes in the sky. The Farsight Surveillance Drone is a highly advanced, intelligent surveillance and espionage bot. Ghostwave ensures commucations security. It can collate as as well analyse data and safely transmit it to its allies.
  • Fast, agile and almost silent, making it very difficult to detect.
WEAKNESSES
  • Small size also makes it easier to smash. It has an ionisation buffer, but is unlikely to endure direct hits from ion weapons. Lightsabres are also a problem.
  • Not a combat model. It only has a pistol. Enough to protect it against wild life and a random thug or nosy security guard, not enough for a serious fight.
DESCRIPTION

Knowledge is power. Enyo understands this. She also has no respect for someone else's privacy. Her enemies must be watched. So must her allies. And her siblings. Especially her siblings. Big Sister is watching you. The surveillance droid model builds upon older designs made by Archangel. It is built for a simple purpose: to observe, spy, and report its findings back. It is part of a growing surveillance-industrial complex.

The droid has a small profile, is agile and near-silent, which makes it very difficult, though not impossible, to detect. But it is easy for the droid to get lost in a crowd. And most of the time people don't take notice or deliberately seek out a small, almost unarmed bot. It is only armed with a small, sleek blaster pistol, but then its purpose is not combat. It is smart enough to stage a tactical retreat if it is cornered. Or activate its self-destruct device if escape is impossible.

The droid makes use of a comprehensive surveillance suite with high-end sensor equipment, a mapping system, a laser designator and a Ghostwave Communicator. The Ghostwave is key to the way it works. It is well-protected against tampering, for once a message is sent, records of it, the encryption chosen by the sender and its destination are all wiped permanently. The same applies to sent messages shortly after they are read. Moreover, it uses non-traditional transmissions.

They are transmitted across the Ghostwave and Shadowfeed rather than just random messages across the HoloNet. The Communicator secures messages sent with it to other sectors of space and allows them to be sent anywhere there is holonet access, even secured installations or ships without risk of detection. So long as there are signals leaving the area the communicator is in, it is able to message out. However, transmissions are one-way and there is a lag, which means each message takes time to travel across the HoloNet. Overall, the droids make very good spies. They can be utilised for long range surveillance but also for more direct monitoring of a planet or even building. They can collate as well as analyse data and can even slice to a degree.

One of the favourite pasttimes of Enyo's siblings is annoying her by coming up with absurdly flowery names for her toys. They have a secret chat room for this. Thalia suggested Divinity Omnipotence Drone for the droid. Enyo stepped in to shut that one down and told her off. So they instead came up with Farsight Surveillance Drone a name which Enyo can actually understand, but still dislikes.
