Calamari Sector Announces Drone Design
The Calamari Sector has announced the unveiling of a new division within the Mon Calamari Shipyards that is producing droids instead of ships. MC Shipyards announced the future production of a light drone that may greatly help everyone from spacers and crewman to law enforcement and anti-terror taskforces. The design is question is so far only known as the Mon Calamari Drone-1 or MCD-1 for short.
There is rumored to be two variants. One that is being marketed to the general public that fulfills logistical roles akin to an astromech droid, and another that is made to assist in combat. While currently only a little has been to us, we know that is designed to overwhelm criminal and terrorists' positions. Swarming around their targets and peppering them with blaster fire. It is rumored that there will be a grenade loading functionality as well, providing limited capabilities against armored targets and defensive positions.
It appears the Calamari Sector has saw an opportunity to provide security forces in the galaxy with a tool to assists forces in dealing with heavy combat on worlds experiencing terrorist organizations or advanced criminal elements. It is rumored the Calamari Sector itself will likely begin adding many of them to the planetary defense forces of worlds located there at base cost, something the local defense forces seem excited about.
