The O11/BEHCCA Orion is the drone carrier of the Order's Pax Dei. Drone carriers are armed with small ground homing drones capable of dealing damage around enemy ground vehicles. The drones are not capable of locking onto small targets such as infantry.

Description[]

The O3/BEHCCA drone carrier is an Order support hoverdyne designed to stay in the background of combat encounters. A single Rover-2000 grav engine, with four side mounted articulating energy outlets, powers the six-crewed hoverdyne. Inside the heavily armored belly of the carrier is a large container module where heavy payloads of GHE spider drones are stored.

An advanced targeting system identifies enemy ground vehicles and calculates the targets’ movement vector and signature. The data is then transferred to a computer inside each of the GHE spider drones. The drones are launched out of the carrier and as soon as they touch ground they home in on their target’s signature. The eight-legged spider drone is highly maneuverable and their combat speed tops most terradynes. The advanced computer onboard the drone makes all necessary movement corrections required to successfully strike the target. When the drone comes within a pre-programmed detonation range, optimal range being 5 meters, the drone explodes, sending shrapnel towards the target. To guarantee the destruction of the target, a batch of drones are usually sent out at once.
