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 the enemy with tiny angry stingers.
What it is. The WASP is a very small droid that has one very simple purpose, sting and swarm 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 a flesh dissolving acid that hornets are known to carry. Each wasp has the capability of five stings worth of poison injecting at about 50 micro grams a sting, which adds up to 250 micrograms per wasp. Victims stung by the wasps will immediately experience an intense burning pain that can be compared to someone sticking red hot needle into your skin. Afterwards victims can experience itching, nausea, and small non lethal gashes of flesh that have dissolved from the sight of the sting.
How it works. Simply link the WASP swarm to your HUD this process is done very easily as the container the wasps come in can connect to your heads up display by using a very simple wireless connection from a CPU that each wasp is individually linked to. Just sync your HUD and the CPU and you are ready. Arakyd offers a arm canister however for the easiest mode of transportation and deployment
Each of these devices carries sixty 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 select marked targets for swarming using a AWV or whichever their preference of Heads Up Display system is. The wasps quickly travel the intended target and start the process of stinging, once they have successfully stung their target they continue to sting and harass until the user calls the back to their hive or changes targets even if they no longer have any venom. They will not attack or sting anyone unless they have been designated to do so
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 their acid. 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 to distract enemies and cause them to panic.They will harass and sting enemies or cause them to panic from being swarmed by their numbers.
