Model-T Androids

"Gentlemen I introduce to you the L&L T1 a cheap, efficient, lightweight, modular, rapid production android, capable of municipal work, load lifting, and transportation, the all in one multi-tool for any business, coming to a hardware store near you." -Lilith Evergreen 2403

## Overview

The Model-T Androids are a series of robots produced by L&L Industries. They are a series of droids designed in the likeness of humans, for all the work you can't or don't want people to do. They're employed in hundreds of positions across the world, finding most of their success in The Scarlettian Empire, but also in several other nations including Nova Zemja, Lyonia, and Xin Minzhu. They are most well known for their positions in L&L industries, the Scarlettian Royal Navy, and the Scarlettian Security Force.

## Units

### The Model T-1

The T-1 was the first Model-T android produced by L&L. Created from plans stolen by L. during her banishment from the Winter Regime. The first successful unit was given the code name A0, following 9 failed prototypes. The units were first released in 2403 and were slow and dim, requiring frequent monitoring and maintenance. Despite these shortcomings, however, this unit was extremely important to The Scarlettian Empire as it was a cheap, relatively efficient supplement to the small industrial force of the fledgling republic. This thrust L&L to the center stage of the economy and became their focus from then on.

The T-1 saw short-lived use as both a military equipment tester, as well as a small paramilitary defense force for L&L, what would later become the SSF. However, it was clear the T-1 would be short-lived and L&L began work quickly on an improved unit.

### The Model T-2

Following the success of the T-1, L&L began work quickly on a new unit to fill the other half of the economy that the T-1 couldn't fill because of its bulk and slow operations. The T-2 while also expanding on the T-1's industrial capacity also filled the municipal and service sectors. Released in 2203 the T-2 was another smashing hit filling many low-skilled service jobs along with some democratic positions. Featuring advanced movement systems and computational power they were close to comparable with a normal human. This would pique the military's curiosity and following a demo of the units would employ them in Operation Aurora.

The T-2 would also replace the T-1s employed by L&L in their private security force, later becoming the Scarlettesian Security Force under command of at the time Councilor L.

### The Model T-3

With the War of Independence continuing to rage on the need for more advanced minds and tools of war were needed. This prompted L. to create the Model T-3 the first unit capable of full sapience. In early January 2404, the first T-3 units code-named "Copper" (later changed to Connor to sound more human) and Diamond were released, along with non-sapient models released to the general public. Following an incident regarding unit-designation Diamond sapient T-3s were quickly ceased production, leaving Connor as the only operational sapient unit still under L&L control.

The T-3 saw more military and medical work than any other unit to date, serving in the SSF and replacing the sailors of the Scarlettian Royal Navy. They served a major role in the Second Battle of Scarlettesia driving our ARAD forces once and for all.

The T-3 also saw use as the first Surrogate unit in Operation Pheonix, used by L.

### The Model T-4

With the success of the T-3 in military and computational settings, it was clear that expansion of the unit was only inevitable. With aid from Rossinian Scientists a new unit combining the flexibility of the T-2 with the mind of the T-3 culminated in the best of both units. The model T-4 was introduced in 2405, featuring advanced mobility, computational power, protection from all forms of attack, and the ability to make cookies built into the machine it became the penultimate unit.

The T-4 quickly replaced T-3 units in the navy and SSF bolstering their ranks even further and making them a nearly unstoppable fighting force. Expansions on the T-4 also became the Surrogate-L 4 and Surrogate-L 5 units, of which the SL5 is still operational today.
