Engineering Frames
Precise articulated hands and interchangeable tools support fabrication, construction and inspection. Sensor heads gather information without requiring a human-shaped face. Engineering minds can remain in one frame or coordinate several compatible work bodies.
Heavy Ground Platforms
Broad load-bearing limbs support armor, weapon modules and a protected cognition assembly. Stable movement and deliberate positioning serve heavy industrial and combat roles. Physical configuration follows the task and available equipment.
Maintenance & Recovery Bodies
Compact walkers carry manipulators, spare components and inspection tools. They recover damaged modules, repair service routes and sustain the infrastructure used by larger machines. Recoverable bodies and recorded minds still need compatible replacements.
Relay Drones
Airborne craft maintain observation and short-range communication between local nodes. They extend the reach of shared perception within finite coverage and bandwidth. Ground workers and heavy platforms remain ground units; the Air domain applies to the relay bodies in this collection.
Identity & Cooperation
Some bodies contain independent minds; others extend a larger identity. Citizens share observations while retaining preferences and experience. Disconnected copies may develop different histories, and reconnecting them can require a negotiated choice about identity.
Operational Limits
Power, heat, load-bearing capacity and communication constrain each form. A lost relay changes coordination, damaged limbs limit movement and unsynchronized memories may be lost with a destroyed body.
