Bloodhound

The Bloodhound was a parasite drone of the Royal Manticoran Navy.
Introduced in 1924 PD, the Bloodhound was a product of the joint Manticoran-Havenite research programs at Bolthole. Essentially a small parasite drone carried by modified Ghost Rider reconnaissance drones, Bloodhounds could deploy in constellations designed to penetrate hostile communications nets. While communications lasers were impossible to detect without placing a platform directly into the path of the laser, Bloodhound was designed to saturate a zone with enough platforms moving in very stealthy, precisely calculated search patterns to potentially intercept the laser. Interruption of the signal would alert the enemy to the presence of the Bloodhound and their encrypted signals would be impossible to read, but analyzing the density, complexity, and directions in which a command and control net extended was believed to offer pattern analysis significant insight.
