HexDrone

HexDrones are small intelligence-gathering and general reconnaissance machines that are often released in swarms for widespread dissemination and infiltration.

As countermeasures to guard against them become increasingly commonly used by those who find themselves targetted by them, they have suffered diminished popularity. As such, they are now more commonly employed by the Cartels and Gangs that operate throughout HubSpace during their low-level operations.

In spite of this, the MegaCorporation Warden still holds the patent on their creation and finds a market selling augmented and enhanced models of the machines to military contractors such as those working under Redwater. The schematics of one such breed of HexDrones was leaked three years ago by the organisation known as Savant, revealing that they had been outfitted to disperse Yandranyl, a potent incapacitating sedative agent infamous for the low level of exposure needed to reach its toxic threshold.
