Helion Microdrones



Vehicle

Well, it's taken a bit longer than originally expected to get the microdrones out the door, but now Helion's Microdrones are ready and available.

I heard that Helion had some trouble with the electronics, apparently some of the major miniaturization that was needed for these things was a tad more difficult than they thought. The fact is, they originally intended to use one frame for both drones, but the micro frame just couldn't handle the inclusion of weaponry.

Our first drone, the recon model, is one of the newly developed microdrones you may have heard about. The RCV-186 is capable of short-range surveillance and, when equipped with the new BattleTac FDDM system, spotting for other drones. (FDDM-equipped variants available, please call for prices and ordering).

The RVC-186 series reconnaissance drone is the ultimate in aerial surveillance, allowing the user to watch from a safe distance with a barely noticeable unit.

Our second drone, the RVC-187 model, is designed to be a light attack drone. It's quiet, fast, and it has range to spare. Please call for prices on BattleTac-equipped units.

The RVC-187 series attack drone is both small and agile, a wasp to sting your opponents with. The attack drone comes complete with a firmpoint and weapons conversion kit (supply your own SMG).

That is a *cough* lot of nuyen to go laying out for a drone, if you ask me.
