Description

Created in 3071 on St. Ives[4], the Bullet drone is based on the Guardian (Conventional Fighter). Probably one of the more desperate weapons ever conceived of, the Bullet is designed to be flown close to an enemy emplacement or formation and then detonated, hopefully resulting in an explosion that will destroy or damage the enemy, while the drone operators are located safely away from the battlefield. Several squadrons of Bullet drones were used on New Hessen to drive off Word of Blake forces.[2]

Weapons and Equipment

The Bullet drone exchanges the Guardian's cockpit for a Drone Operating System, swaps in a smaller engine, removes the VSTOL capability, and trades the SRM-6 for a Sian/Ceres Lynx SRM 2 and a Booby Trap.[2]

Cargo

None.
