SPECIAL FEATURES

• Capable of aerial and space flight: These WB/1 drones are capable of maneuvring in both space and atmospheric conditions, making them both a versatile and efficient tool for several situations, be it defense of key land positions or as a deterrent in space combat.
• Modular: Having several armament load outs make these drones quite versatile, with only the frame itself remaining the same, these different load outs do have distinction between themselves.
• Remote control: These drones can either be remote controlled seperately by the user or in tandem via a computer or Control unit. Though they can operate purely individually or in group, they need to be assigned basic commands for longterm functionality.

STRENGTHS

• Easily repaired and replaced: As these are drones, the WB series can individually all be replaced without it having much impact on the client's bottomline.
• Compact: These drones are compact and light, allowing for easy transport and stowage.
• Versatile: The WB drones can either be manually controlled, function automatically on basic commands or be coupled to a control unit. This versatility makes the WB useful in a whole range of situations and locations.

WEAKNESSES

• Practically non-existent defenses: Besides a standard shield system for immediate defense, the WB drones do not have the ability to withstand longterm sustained fire of any kind nor are they particularily well equipped to deal with damage from the majority of weapons.
• Exposed hydraulic locking mechanism: the location where the drones stow and retract their weapons from, has its mechanism exposed, which can cause issues in extreme temperatures or when under heavy fire.

DESCRIPTION
The N&Z has had a long history of strong, reliable droids. However, in recent years it appeared that with the rapid growth of other companies in the sector, not to mention the stagnating sales of droids and the aversion towards fielding large numbers of combat droids, the company had to strategise a new approach within this section of the military market.

N&Z EnSol conducted a large scale study and came to the conclusion that while the droid models of the N&Z were in fact in the upper echelons of the market, they also came with the added costs and increased maintainance fees and hours which made people turn away from the company's powerful line up of combat and security droids. As such, the EnSol division of the N&Z Umbrella Corporation concluded that perhaps a line up of smaller, simpler and more disposable droids was necessary.

The first part of this change in production and design came with the introduction of the ZMDIII QB/1 control unit model, but to fully capitalise on this new creation, the company also needed a range of small, compact droids with minimal autonomic function and with both the size and weight to make them easily transportable and deployable from any location. Affectionately called Drones, the newest design; the ZMDIII WB/1 would function as a subservient droid to the QB control unit, or as standalone security droids that could function in practically the same capacity as most standard issue combat droids, but with greater maneuvrability and lower cost.

MANIAC my apologies, but could you move this to the droid section?

Done, and because I moved, before I start to judge it, I would like to ask you to edit the pre-made fields, because here those are different than in the simple tech section.

MANIAC thanks for the move and fixed the prerequisite fields

Very cool sub again! You forgot to add the FAE's permission link to your template. I would like to ask you to edit it.
