T.N.F. Recon Drone 'Intruder' Mk.I

Investigating or clearing an enemy ship or structure can be a highly dangerous task. Every room might have an automated turret or armed defenders with their rifles aimed at your point of entry. To lower the risk to their own Strike Infantry teams, the Fleet is now adding several Intruder drones to warships currently under construction.

Designed to fit in the standard 2,5m x 2,5m hallways and walking tubes common in most ships and stations, the Intruder drone can accompany Strike Infantry teams as they board and clear enemy structures in space. The strike teams make a breach large enough, and send in the Intruder to clear the adjacent room. Its main purpose is to destroy enemy infantry and automated interior turrets with minimal risk to the strike teams, and it is therefore fitted with a 25mm gatling gun and a 4-tubed 200mm missile launcher.

The drawback of its minimalistic design is the lack of a laser antenna, making its regular antenna emissions visible to the enemy. It is also at over 3 meters in length, requiring careful turning in tight spaces. Some entrances may have doors or walkways which are too narrow for the Intruder to enter, the Fleet manual suggest blowing these obstructions away with a rocket or two if a boarding team isn’t available to grind them down.
