Special Features: These drones link to the user's DCD, allowing them to be deceptively intelligent even though they are small and on a whole are able to move faster than most natural land animals. (15mp/s)
Description: The Pyraemon Hover Discs are intelligent (dependent on the control device) and effective mid range remote controlled drones with no functional AI of their own, with the aid of a Drone control Device they are able to perform combat maneuvers as well as become somewhat devilish on a battlefield or in a duel. With multiple of these little devils able to be controlled at once they can become potent opponents, considering their basic make-up. Orphen invented these to give him a tactical edge in combat, as well as an added edge to his other creations which more than likely will also implement their own micro-drone deployment and control systems. The armour plating which these little devils wear is capable of withstanding basic blaster pistol rounds and glancing blows from heavy pistols or basic rifles, but otherwise rely on their small size and quick movement in order to zip around and avoid contact while delivering their light, though still lethal payloads. However, as they are wireless drones, should their signals of the control device be intercepted or chaffed, they will hover idly until the command signal. While EMP's will knock them out of the air.
The Discs are small enough to be kept on the user's person, at the push of a button the discs can be thrown, activating in middair and beginning to hover with their repulsar-lift pads lining the drone. In the center of the drone, built into them, is a light 'pistol class' weapon, which, buy routing power to different areas of the repulsar-lift pads it is able to aim, at rather accurate levels.
