Robotics, Drones & AI

Drones, robots and AI are widespread in the Collective. Unmanned drones assist the Vanguard in every theatre of combat - from platoons of AI-controlled robots on the ground to drone ships in space. Additionally, AI and robots assist their flesh-and-blood counterparts in all aspects of life. Many citizens of the collective employ use of drones to aid them in daily tasks - cleaning the furniture, carrying boxes or luggage, et cetera. AI are often seen in more official positions, siphoning through and compiling data in return for free will. Drones and robots take many forms, but realistic androids or robotic forms resembling a certain alien race are not often one of them. Many use antigravity technology to get around.

The Tyche Concord and Exile worlds also sees use of robotics, though at a more primitive level. The Collective does not usually trade in robotics, so those in the Concord are left to engineer their own. Some AI are also present in the Tyche Concord.
