Mobile Pod



Mobile Pod: A mobile pod is a relatively small warfare machine, used for support and supply tasks, as well as the occasional long range support attack when needed. This type of machine is very versatile since it has an integrated AI system that can take control of its functions when no pilot is needed. The AI actions are limited though and a pilot is needed when there is a necessity to perform complicated actions or maneuvers. Mobile pods can be controlled remotely too. The first mobile pod was designed by the UCW in 2079AD as a construction robot for the colony engineers. Colonies were mainly constructed with the aid of mobile pods, and represented more than 50% of the robotic devices in space in 2096AD. They do not closely resemble a human form, although some models have four limbs for low cost maneuvering in construction sites. As they were needed for the colonies construction, they were heavily produced by each of the colony clusters. This resulted in an overproduction and most of the lines had to halt the production. In OC0040 only Feinsilver produces mobile pods and they are a low demand item. They can be found in almost every junkyard. The most famous model is the NEMP-02 Tama.
