SPECIAL FEATURES
- The Upgraded/Modernized Pistoeka Sabotage Droid, otherwise known as the U/M Pistoeka Sabotage Droid, is capable of forming into a "ball" when deployed in space - once it makes contact with an enemy starship or starfighter, it latches on with magnetic legs and immediately gets to work. Improved from its base model, the U/M Pistoeka is a brutal (does it technically count as a war crime? It should.) sabotage droid that can be used to tear apart enemy ships and, even vehicles/fortifications, with ease.
- The U/M Pistoeka has changed little from its design - aside from its improved sabotage tools which can tear apart a ship more quickly, it still is the same... Aside from one change. The onboard reactor, in conjunction with a (normally inert, but primed when it attaches to something) baradium explosive charge internally fixed next to it, means when the droid is disabled or shut offline (or just chooses to activate it on its own, the malicious little no-sense-of-self-preservation bugger that it is), the charge may be possibly able to go off, or at least, potentially cause serious damage to whatever its on. Able to track radiation signatures, electromagnetic signatures, and infrared signatures, it can act as one-part "kriff you" to anything flying and one-part space mine, for it emits no power in its "balled-up" state. Also extremely cheap (just as cheap as the Pistoeka base) and just as hard to hit, as well as able to easily fit into a missile or deployment rack. Saturation space bombing with buzz droids is officially recommended by the Colicoid Creation Nest.
- The U/M Pistoeka is still weak, still frail, and still very much an easy-to-kill droid. Aside from its suicidal behavior which actively encourages it to cling to a ship and take it with itself if it goes down (and if not, it'll move on to the next after dissecting both ship and pilot/crew), it also has the problem of being sadistic. For the Colicoids and most polities, this likely isn't a problem - but it's definitely toeing the line of deliberate cruelty (no, it is deliberate cruelty) and would likely see you in prison if tried. Also, it's not a combat droid, but a sabotage droid meant for spacework, and while it can work in atmosphere/on the ground, it is unlikely to work well there.
An upgraded/modernized version of the Pistoeka Sabotage Droid, the U/M Pistoeka isn't anything new - why change something that works. That was Ank Dec's thought-process when he, alongside his design teams, produced and created this terrifying droid. Made even more lethal (and morally abhorrent), the U/M Pistoeka is certain to win you a battle in space as it is certain to earn you a lifetime of prison in any civilized society. Sold in bulk, these cheap sabotage droids are highly-affordable, easy to fit onto a missile or ship's deployment rack... and just as able to tear apart a ship in seconds if enough of them swarm it.
