Description

Universal Shipping started to develop autonomous drone systems back in the early years of 700 A.S., trying to achieve a solution to the pressure of raising demand on transportats and the risk of them beeing attacked and/or destroyed. Nowadays freelancers are often hired to secure shipments, but they are even more often very expensive and no optimal solution. While having drones with A.I. in mind, they encountered several problems while researching and stopped the program in 748 A.S. only to resume 20 years later.

The current drones are the conclusion of nearly a century of development and are now beeing tested in the field. However, they are not driven by an A.I., the operating system of the drones is based on many modules, including reconaissance, defence, transportation, human interaction and many more. These moduls work together and enable the drones to do for what they were meant to do.

Rumor has it that Universal Drones secretly supports the Xenos, but that rumor has never been proven.

Naming Conventions

In general, drone names are consist of the appropriate word Drone, followed by their ID-suffix. Depending on the hardware the drone is currently using, the name is prefixed as described:

  • if escorting (LF, HF, VHF, SHF & B): UD-Escort
  • if transporting ([[Freighters|Fr] & T): UD-Transport

The parts of the name are seperated by one full stop. Examples are:

  • UD-Escort.Drone.Z22
  • UD-Transport.Drone.E12
