Oracle drone

ES-115 "Oracle" Heavy Sensor/Assault drone

right|200px The "Oracle" is larger of the two remote robotic platforms carried by Sovereign class and later starships of various grades.

These drones are a simple set of micro-Cochrane impulse engines mounted onto a unique armored platform capable of stand-alone operation for short-term use.

Each drone comes with a mid-grade sensor suite which is more capable than a science probe, but its real use comes with its locking system.

These let the drone give excessive maneuverability and extended life-span to an escape pod,

hold and launch up to three torpedoes or missiles of a wide variety,

use specialized equipment detrimental to a ship's personnel. Or they can be used as small tugs.
