Microdrones
Shiawase Kanmushi
This is a four-legged “bug”
crawler drone that is hard to tell from a natural insect at
a glance. It’s ideal for penetrating confined areas, and
its gecko-tipped extremities and light weight render it
capable of crawling on walls and ceilings; it is, however,
quite fragile, and merely being stepped on or a tag eraser
can easily destroy it. This drone is operated with the
Pilot Walker skill.
Sikorsky-Bell Microskimmer
Quiet and durable,
this disc-shaped skimmer is smaller than a frisbee and
can even skim over water. It moves with small and rather
weak hoverjets. It is easier to spot than the Kanmushi,
but still very small. It is operated with the Pilot Groundcraft
skill; the hovercraft specialization applies.
Minidrones
Horizon Flying Eye
This spherical flying drone uses
omnidirectional thrust nozzles to stay airborne. Just
about eyeball-sized, it can roll itself on the ground,
though it needs to fly to overcome obstructions like
stairs and curbs. A version with a built-in flash-pak and
smoke grenade costs 500¥ extra; detonating them destroys
the drone. Use Pilot Aircraft to operate.
MCT Fly-Spy
This Mitsuhama drone is the size and
shape of a large insect but can achieve substantially
better altitudes. It can serve in an “eye in the sky” role
and is handy for shadowing people given the fact that
it’s relatively hard to spot. This drone is operated with
the Pilot Aircraft skill.
Small Drones
Aztechnology Crawler
This small crawler can easily
handle stairs and other obstacles. Designed to operate
as a remote snooper in rough rural or urban terrain, the
Crawler is efficient and robust. Its Pilot program is a step
above most drones in its class. This drone is operated
with the Pilot Walker skill.
Lockheed Optic-X2
This VSTOL stealth craft is only the
size of a cyberdeck with its wings folded up for transport.
When it is deployed, it is the size of a large hawk or other
bird of prey. Its patented signature-limiting technology
makes it a favorite of intelligence agencies and shadowrunners;
radar systems and visual and audio Perception Tests
all receive a –3 dice pool penalty to spot the Optic-X2. This
drone is operated with the Pilot Aircraft skill.
Medium Drones
Ares Duelist
This medium-sized, roughly anthromorph
walker drone is an oddity, some might say a novelty.
It is designed to patrol on its two feet like a metahuman
security guard and is equipped with blade-arms as
its primary armaments. Furthermore, it has been stylized
so its outer chassis represents the traditional oyoroi samurai
armor worn by the Renraku Red Samurai, perhaps a
subtle jab at a competing mega. A niche item that is seldom
fielded, the duelist has two distinct advantages: its
humanoid profile allows it to be mistaken for a more-versatile
metahuman guard at a distance, making it useful at
facilities guarded by skeleton crews, and its blade-arms
are allegedly marginally more effective at combating
spirits than the traditional drone combat payloads of guns
and more guns. This drone comes with a unique Rating
3 Targeting (Swords) autosoft and mounts a pair of standard
swords in special weapon mounts. (The mounted
swords cannot be replaced with other weapons, but additional
weapon mounts may be installed using the normal
rules.) This drone is operated with the Pilot Walker skill.
GM-Nissan Doberman
This tracked perimeter-patrol
drone can secure its designated area effectively
during day or night conditions. It comes equipped with
a standard weapon mount. This drone is operated with
the Pilot Groundcraft skill.
MCT-Nissan Roto-Drone
The Roto-Drone is a simple,
no-nonsense rotor-wing drone design that is highly
modular and customizable. Treat its Body as 3 higher
than its actual Rating for determining how many weapon
mounts or customizations it can integrate. This drone
is operated with the Pilot Aircraft skill.
Large Drones
Cyberspace Designs Dalmatian
This large and robust
VTOL recon drone is capable of hovering and has a sturdy
frame for its light weight. It is about the size of a lawn
mower when stored, and when deployed is the size of a
large hang glider. Lone Star and Knight Errant have both
licensed the design for urban surveillance and patrol duties.
The Dalmatian is operated with the Pilot Aircraft skill.
Steel Lynx Combat Drone
A hardened ground combat
machine, the Steel Lynx possesses four wheeled
legs and a heavy weapon mount. It is operated with the
Pilot Groundcraft skill.
