Security throughout Iveny
Island was designed to quickly turn a leisure retreat into a fortress with autonomous command and control hardware wired throughout the
grounds.
Each
security drone carried firepower equal to that of an A647-B2
"Gunslinger"
droid. Like the 'gunslinger' they had restricted access adaptive combat
tactical programs. Their aeronautics included elliptical air combat techniques
for dog fights, and (like the A647-B2) they carried repulsing shields.
The T820 Combat Droid
The estate's first line of defense were
four bi-pedal armored artillery
drones based on the standard T820 combat model. The T820C as they were called
was a 12 foot, 2500lb. run-dodge-shoot killing machine. Their swivel chest tactical lasers were lethally accurate
within 500 yards at painting opponents with thermal signatures to guide high velocity armor piercing plasma
grenades. High frequency sonic cannons could dismember ground assault forces up
to 100 meters.
Unfortunately,
the drone's shield technology was its fatal flaw. It could not maintain
integrity while simultaneously firing its own weapons. Its shields dropped at random intervals to allow weapons
discharge. But an adaptive tactical
system like the type built into the
A647-B2 compensated for random
shield sequencing, and re-calibrated it's weapons to fire when the T820's
shields dropped. Two 'gunslinger' droids took out all four T820C drones
within the first six minutes of the assault. That left the standard T820 drones
and the highly maneuverable armored flying smart droids, A1120s to stand
between the invaders and Iveny House.
