- Hive Mind
- Hive Mind: All Swarm Droids communicate with each other via a hive mind allowing them to coordinate quickly and create adaptive strategies. This also aids int he fact they attack in swarms.
- Big Gun: It's main and only weapon the Multi-spectral emitter is highly destructive and is meant for anti-vehicle combat.
- No Hack: It has strong firewall countermeasures and adaptive programing to avoid an enemy slicer taking control easily.
- ION/EMP Sheilded: It's job is straight forward get in quick and blow enemy to hell because of this extra effort has been put into shielding it from ION and EMP weapons so it won't be left dead in the water. It was also designed with eventually retrofitting future models with a small ION engine to take on starfighters and we don't want interference.
- Can Travel: Due to it using repulsor Tech for it's movement Terran isn't to much of issue and they can move fairly quickly across a battle. They are designed for quick in drop a few heavy strikes then a quick retreat.
- Only a few Bursts: The Multi-spectral emitter is nice destructive weapon how ever it burns out it's emitters after only a few shots and needs to have them replaced. So swarms come in hot and quick and are gone as soon as there weapons are depleted.
- Not the Sturdy: The Swarms were designed to move in quickly do there damage and get out because of this they aren't that strong against direct hits from most weapons types. They aren't designed for long prolonged battles.
- Separated from Swarm: A singular drone can only be isolated or separated from it's hive/swarm for about a half hour before it will self-destruct this isn't consequence of the hive mind not defense feature. The Drone will become erratic an begin to lose it's facilities and eventually it will destroy itself in anyway possible even if it means slamming into allied units.
The Swarm Droid was designed with a simple philosophy in mind get in quick and do as much destructive damage as possible with out Terran or other obstacles that slow or shut down movement easily in automated systems gettign int he way. The droid or more automated part also apart of the Philosophy a droid is easier to keep on task and usually do not go outside the mission parameters due to programing though int he case of the swarm you do want a little autonomy so they can adapt main mission parameters accordingly. Because of this an hive mind communication system between the swarm was implement so they could adapt their strategies quickly in the field among their units.
These Droids travel in large groups as they set to seek and destroy their targets as quickly as possible. Their weaponry is designed to do a lot of destructive however the weapons burn out quickly and have to be replaced after every run. Also there hive if separated from it or the majority of their swarm is destroyed the droids become erratic and seek to destroy themselves with in a half hour if they can't some how connect with another swarm or mind.
They typically travel in a hive/swarm of twenty though they can survive in numbers as low as two but they are very vulnerable in smaller groups as they are fully designed with numbers in mind. Out side of defenses for normal droid issue like ION weapons and Slicing they aren't particular good at defending against most normal weaponize though their speed and size typically makes up for that,
