The Dover-Gabe class Courier Robot is a robot.
- It is a paramilitary robot and a Courier Robot.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Dover-Gabe, a Sylean company, was awarded a contract for courier robots in 2,974 VI (Vilani) or 4,380 A.D. (Solomani).
The Dover-Gabe Courier Robot was a TL-11 specialized courier robot, built to quickly transport communications material from one location to another. It is a custom 30-ton pod hull, controlled by a semi-organic brain (83R = INT 8, EDU 3, Charisma R) with a set of small craft skill programs (Pilot-4, Comms-2, Sensop-2). As with all brain-based systems, each brain has one skill level in a hobby (randomly determined). Compensation given to brain-based systems varies, but is often non-monetary. These particular models have room for one or two additional levels of skill; upgrades are often sufficiently motivating for these systems.
The onboard fuel cell provides power for 10 weeks (5 weeks in an un-oxygenated atmosphere). It includes a surface-mount comms array and a Distant-ranged Proximeter for collision avoidance.
HISTORY: A tragic attack against the Sylean Federation, which occurred in -112 in Core Sector, helped shape the Third Imperium's current attitudes about robots. A terrorist group rigged the fuel cells of one of these courier robots to explode, and managed to sneak it aboard a 90,000-ton Sylean battleship. Fornol's premier, two ambassadors, and the Sylean vice-mjnister were killed, along with a host of ship's officers and crewmen. This disaster prompted twelve worlds of the Sylean Federation to sign the Shudusham Concords in -110.
