NovaCorp Weapon Drones

Weapon Drones:

Designed for the Mantus were a number of Weapon Drones which could be enslaved by it. These drones however are not bound solely by this purpose and can also operate with a ‘Master Unit', much like a watch – which allows them to be controlled.

There are a great number of Weapon Drones, varying in actually purpose, weapon and size but they generally share two characteristics: they're spherical, and they float using an anti-gravity/gravity system. All Weapon Drones have an anti-matter pay-load that allows them to self-destruct if needed – or as a possible attack.

Many drones have a plasmonic coating to render them invisible in the visible light spectrums. All of them other than the Scout possess some level of shielding in order to protect them in the heat of battle.
