Description:

Arakyd industries continues to innovate warfare and create new and useful equipment for soldiers and agents of the galaxy, and WASP is that new innovation. A grenade or arm canister filled with a hive of miniature wasp sized droids capable of harassing, poisoning, and killing the enemy with tiny angry stingers.

What it is. The WASP is a very small droid that has one very simple purpose, sting, swarm, and kill anyone who is not on your side. The tiny droid is about the size of it's real life counterpart can fly, sting, and maneuver equally to it's biological brother. It's stinger is loaded with the poison of the users choice and can anything from a paralyzing agent to a blood burning or flesh dissolving toxin. Each wasp has the capability of five stings worth of poison injecting at about 15 micro grams a sting, which adds up to 75 micrograms per wasp.

How it works. Simply link the WASPs hive network to your HUD, once that is done carry them in your preferred mode of transportation. Arakyd offers a arm canister or a grenade

Each of these devices carries fifty wasps each and can be deployed in the flick of a wrist. Once activated the wasps exit their hive and the user is free to designate marked targets, or let them off their leash to engage enemies freely. However the wasps will attack anyone without a friendly IFF tag and this includes civilians so if you are removing them from your command be sure that your intent isn't to cause damage to civilians as they will attack anyone without friendly tags.

Each wasp is equipped with an Agrinium stinger that is capable of piercing most light rubber armor insulators and armor meshes (such as storm trooper insulation) and it can puncture to the skin where it needs to deliver the poison. So wasps will automatically target the weak points and soft mesh areas of armor that include the neck, knees, elbows, anywhere that skin is exposed or unarmored areas as the stingers will of course not puncture armor.

Drawbacks. These tiny droids aren't the strongest fliers, they can not operate in rainy or humid environments for more than a few minutes before shutting down. They are also incredibly easy to destroy, a simple swat of a hand will destroy a unit. They have no defense against EMP and ion based attacks and will shut down quite easily from it. Even a strong winds will cause these droids to flutter around in the breeze and become useless. And of course as all droids that run on a network they can be sliced into.

But while it does have some pretty big drawbacks the WASP is great for use on the battlefield or assassination attempts. They will harass and sting enemies or cause them to panic from being swarmed by their numbers. The user is free to pick which poison they use and as this does use poison it is recommended that any PC users do not pick a insta kill poison as it is a clear way to abuse this. Paralyzing or force severing poisons are recommended so please do not try to use this with lethal intent to other PC characters.
