D rones, Vehicles, and gear

g e a r d r o n e s a n d v e h i b c l e s

▶ FIFE’S ROV DRONES

Underwater drones in the form of small submarines.

Loadout Default Trigger Data

4 MOVE • 30HP
• Observation Camera Perimeter of Defended Area
None. Controlled Directly.
• Lightweight Manipulator Arm DV 21 Electronics/Security
Tech, 5min to counter.

▶ MACROCHEIRA-CLASS CRABFORM
A giant, enhanced semi-organic guardian. Each one has a conditioned bond with whatever object or location it’s
given to guard. It recognizes wartime CINO/Arasaka IFF codes and accepts those who broadcast them as allies.
The semi-organic nature of the creature prevents Netrunners from altering its behavior. It’s possible to locate the
RFID/pheromone tag that binds it which is located on the outside of the Cargo Container by making a DV 15
Perception Check. Once an Edgerunner reaches the tag, they can roll a DV 17 Electronics/Security Tech Check
to make the Crabform docile.

Loadout Default Trigger Data

Combat Number 14
• Low-Light/Infrared/UV
Target comes within 4 m/yds of 6 MOVE • 60HP
• IFF System

• Olfactory Boost Perimeter of Defended Area
proper IFF code.
• 2 Very Heavy Melee Weapons (Claws)
Cannot be countered

▶ MILITECH NASS-54 UNDERWATER DRONES

A semi-autonomous torpedo drone designed for surveillance with a secondary sabotage/defense role. These
drones are military gear, controlled by a Balon-Class Demon in the NET Architecture of the SS MacDonnelson.
The Demon has a prioritized list of objectives, with direct emergency orders at the top, but can make relatively
complex decisions on their execution.

Loadout Objective Priority List Data

• 2 Grenade Launchers 1. Follow direct combat commands. Combat Number 14

• Retractable Manipulator Arm w/ a Circular 2. Defend self/allies if attacked.

 DRUMMER AND THE WHALE

▶ FIFE’S SUBMERSIBLE
This sub probably dates back to the war years. It has full sensors, good comms, and big lighting arrays designed to
support a full construction and repair dive team through their day’s work underwater. Fife pilots their submersible
from outside via the Control Nodes in the Submarine’s NET Architecture, while clinging to its hull or swimming
nearby. Fife can enter the sub and control it from inside, but vastly prefers to stay in their “native” element.

• Seating Upgrade x2
• Manipulator Arms x2 100 8 10 MOVE 15 MPH/24 KPH
• Sonar System

▶ MILITECH SSCI GARFISH STEALTH SUBMARINE (SS MACDONNELSON)

A compact military submarine built to direct reconnaissance and incursion. Designed after the 4th Corporate War
for quiet, low-intensity conflicts where jurisdiction is a contentious question, the Garfish class trades direct offensive
power for invisibility, flexibility, sabotage, and surveillance features. It has a NET Architecture loaded with a
Balron-Class Demon to control naval and aerial drones and coordinated commando teams to recover agents in
enemy territory. The Garfish has 3 full-size torpedo tubes (use Onboard Rocket Launcher, CP:R page 164).

▶ MILITECH GROWLER
Cost: 10,000eb (Super Luxury)
This experimental weapon represents the latest in Militech crowd control technology and is being field tested by
the SS MacDonnelson.
An Exotic Rocket Launcher that forces any creature in the area of its blast with an organic brain to make a DV 19
Resist Torture/Drugs Check or suffer the Brain Injury Critical Injury (see CP:R page 221). Reloading this weapon
requires 2 Actions, and thus can only be done over the course of 2 Turns. Firing this weapon requires BODY 11
or higher unless it is mounted.
