Quote:The V-Drone, the V standing for "versatile" was developed by Thinktronic during the Galaxy War, in 2174. The V-Drone was developed to be a military assistant for use by the Grand Peace Assembly. The first version of the V-Drone was marketed by Thinktronic as "one tough little guy". This was due to the systems of the V-Drone being resistant to EMP grenades, (Unlike the other robotic units by Thinktronic, the Guardbuddy line, which was intended to operate in commercial and industrial areas.) allowing constant operation of the unit, and, due to its shape, they have been nick-named "Crabs" or "Scuttlebots", most likely due to the crablike nature of the units whilst in operation. The units are common in military installations due to the reliability of the unit, the noteworthy terrorists, the Syndicate, also used heavily modified models of this unit. Due to this, safety restrictions will be implemented in the next version. Overall, the unit is still in production, many versions have been deployed across the galaxy, and Thinktronic's most successful military contribution.
