Combat Drone

The Combat Drone is a weak drone used by Republic forces.
== Description ==
Combat drones are pilotless attack ships used primarily by the Republic Navy. Although very weak and easy to destroy, they can be very effective in large numbers. Because drones do not need a cockpit, they can be filled entirely with equipment and solid metal, which makes their hulls stronger than other small ships.
Drones do not come equipped with a hyperdrive. You cannot carry a drone unless you have a ship in your fleet with a drone bay.
== Location ==
The Combat Drone can be purchased at the following ports:
* Ada, Aldebaran
* Luna, Sol
* Prime, Betelgeuse
* Geminus, Castor (before the bombing)

== Performance Information ==
Combat Drones are launched by Navy Cruisers and Carriers and they are extremely easy to destroy. They have no shields, a weak hull, and their only weapon requires them to be at extremely close range in order to fire. In spite of these facts, a swarm of them can peck a slower ship to death.
== Notes ==
* Like all drones, the Combat Drone cannot jump and requires a ship with drone bays to carry it.
* Purchasing the Combat Drone requires a Navy License, which is not legitimately obtainable. As a result, Combat Drones can only be obtained by capturing them.
