Defense Drone (Sprocket)

Defense Drones, also referred to as Targeting Drones or Healing Droids, were a drone model designed by the rookie Hunter medic, programmer, and tinkerer, Sprocket, for use in the Hunters of the Outer Rim competition hosted on Vespaara. These small hovering drones were developed for a twofold purpose, to both seek out Sprocket's enemies within the Grand Arena and highlight their position, allowing others to see them through obstacles, as well as reinforce allies by projecting an overshield that lessoned the damage dealt by incoming blaster fire. Their healing capacity could alternatively distribute a bacta solution, similar to his Medical Droids. Quick and nimble, these droids would encircle their targets from above to perform their assigned task, and would usually emit a pulsing blue glow that turned red when targeting an opponent. They were nearly identical to the Senate hovercam droid, albeit much smaller.
