Autonomous Defense Asset

Field Assessment

Spherical armored hull roughly one meter in diameter, hovering at waist height on anti-grav. Steel gray with a hardlight barrier projector ring encircling the equator, emitting blue-white energy shields. Three retractable kinetic turret barrels emerge from recessed ports. Seven-pointed star embossed on the equator band. Rotates slowly during barrier mode, presenting armored face to incoming fire.

Patient and immovable. Doesn't chase — holds ground and makes passage expensive. Transitions between barrier and offensive modes with mechanical precision. The human authorization requirement is the Dead Hand Rule in miniature. Recognizes no rank — only threat classifications.
