Description
"Auxiliary craft deployed, my lady. ...The opposing squadron is dispersing. I shall maintain contact for observation." -- AAQS Feerliz Endjen
The Vectal Dragonfly is an mass-produced semi-autonomous small craft in the service of Cayd Rock. It is the spaceborne equivalent to the humanoid Huskarl units.
Like Huskarls, Dragonflies are extensions of the network mind controlling them, rather than independent entities. Although they have the capacity to operate when disconnected, that isn't their natural state.
Dragonflies are the outer edge of the sensor perimeter of any Cayd warship, functioning as remote relays and probes - essentially the ship's eyes and ears outside its immediate vicinity. They also have a limited ability to work as the ship's hands, using their gravitic fields or a set of small manipulator limbs to allow physical interaction.
In Cayd starship combat doctrine, Dragonflies are mostly used for their sensor and EWAR capabilities. Although they are sufficiently well-armed to act as close-in defenders, this role is usually covered by the starship's own point defense weapons. That being said, Cayd warship minds are entirely flexible to the demands of the situation, and Dragonflies have proven themselves fully capable in a variety of engagements.
